6:02 am
question. >> they cannot do such protests and the demonstrations by violating the freedom of other people who want to go to work and get on with their life in a normal way. therefore i would say to do such protests by disregarding police warning and refuse to disburse is counter productive and not a good way to advance the democratic in hong kong at all. >> reporter: and rob mcbride joins us live from hong kong, rob, looks like the number of protesters is growing rapidly and bring us up to date on what is happening there. >> those numbers have been growing over the past few hours and seeing tens of thousands of people down here where the occupation first expanded about the same time yesterday but after the fear and the tear gas of last night it has been replaced by a carnival or street party type of feel and we understand it expanded and tens
6:03 am
of thousands of people in this area, more the sort of government and commercial hub of hong kong and expanded down in the central business district which is a kilometer that way and in that direction and there is also a growing occupation and causeway bay. to give you an idea of the kind of numbers here, the mobile phone cell is completely jammed in the interconnected city and that takes a lot of people to cause a jam like that. but that is what we are experiencing here. there are thousands of people. and it almost seems as they they are joined especially by young people and possibly students who finished studies for the day or people from offices who are coming here to support this. you have to remember as well during the nighttime hours that is maybe when people feel they are more vulnerable to any kind of operations to clear the area, on the bus that stopped on the highway over my shoulder here it stopped where it was stopped by
6:04 am
the crowds last night and it hasn't moved since then. somebody put a sign on the destination part of the front of bus there saying remember the ugly face of the police, they are still around. so people still worried here, i think, just about any kind of action by the police to move them but it's difficult to see how they could ever now try to deal with this. >> reporter: pictures on the screen are absolutely extraordinary and thousands of people crammed in the streets of hong kong, has there been any more reaction from the government? >> reporter: well, the government has been saying all day that people should disburse. they have kind of come up with a reason for why we are not seeing a police presence here and say there is no reason to have the riot police anymore on the streets because the people here are calmer. arguably they were not that violent to begin with and certainly the people here say they didn't do anything to warrant the tough response they
6:05 am
got from tear gas the night before but the government is urging people to leave and urging the hong kong's chief executive to leave calling for his resignation and the pressure must be on the chief executive now really to see what he is going to do. i think the ball is really in his court and the authorities here. this is an unprecedented crisis for the next move. >> and rob, many protesters are occupying the business financial district of hong kong and what impact has it had on the market then? >> reporter: it had an impact here, the chamber of commerce here said it's affecting business and the stock market has gone down 2% we believe during day so it's affecting business. this is as we know a very important global financial center, regional business center, many companies are headquartered here.
6:06 am
so it's affecting business. the reason many companies want to be based in hong kong is not only for the economic freedoms as freewheeling capitalism but some freedom people enjoy of freedom of expression and free press and so on. authorities here have to be very mindful of what the world business community which is watching this unprecedented protest watching to see how hong kong hands it and doesn't want a stronghold in the street. >> rob mcbride in hong kong thank you. al-qaeda linked group al-nusra released a message saying the u.s. air strikes will not succeed and warned of attacks of western countries and european and other countries to denounce the strikes.
