shops are closed i personally want to civilian government and. the sudanese people also had a big role to play in order for the civil disobedience to be executed in the correct way and on its 1st day i think that it has been 300 percent successful. the movement for freedom and change together with the sudanese professionals union had announced sunday's action in response to the military genter seizing of power and the continued crackdown on protesters. it's still not known how many people were killed by the security forces during last week's massacre when the main pro-democracy sit in was forcibly dispersed but a sudanese doctor's group puts the toll in the past week at 117. and we will protect the wealthier of the citizens especially when the citizens refuse to acknowledge the call to civil disobedience and with determined to go to work this despite the difficulties and the barricades we have therm that the military

in their lives here. and there and. then the latest is that. we didn't choose this for ourselves. taking photos helped me to express the sadness i felt. it was my way of surviving. i have an eye condition called the statements. i see only shapes and outlines unless some 10 centimeters close. i've

had this condition since i was a child. the camera became my ice. water on the floor level to be the. little hot or. the lean the cup the sauce for. the wheel. the other night and when we're a little. slower. paced soria. thank you and then the shoot. could have story of. my family and i fled to the scam 3 years ago. we'd applied for asylum to

canada. but we'd heard nothing. we were losing hope. there are over 1000000 refugees in lebanon. many are women and children. every day i'd see them or king in the fields i thought it could be if it was this article kind of cannot collect a whole pack in a crowded in a lot less time of the sort of hard to get ahead when i'm in the high you have audible hey i'm heard out there about of course how moustachioed far beyond sadness truth of the gist of it is you don't want to travel absolutely starve you can have . many woman are here alone. they lost their men back in syria.

a proposed extradition law and those who lead huge we can protest are urging people to get back onto the streets the organizers estimate more than $1000000.00 marched on sunday denouncing the planned legislation which would allow people to be extradited from hong kong to mainland china it was largely peaceful but several 100 protesters fought with police. we were told we received feedback that these additional measures are effective in addressing the concerns of the stakeholders and we will continue to do something so those new function of us moring views expressed in society but hong kong has to move on there are still severe deficiencies and gaps in our existing system to deal with cross border crimes and transnational crimes. there is sort of a very good for the call here to understand why hong kong cannot have any legal assistance on criminal matters who is our closest neighbors that is

a mainland china taiwan and the cup where we have 2 correspondents following the latest developments is getting reaction from beijing but 1st let's cross over to sarah clarke who is live for us in the hong kong and so are the authorities are very clear in their reaction to the events of the last 24 hours in the house being counter reaction to. the counter reaction is certainly i'm coming from the police so we had a place a press conference earlier as you mentioned the rally yes there was peaceful until just after midnight when there a number of violent clashes around the government headquarters this confrontation went for a few hours and a police today have disclosed that the eye of a number of those people involved in those clashes 8080 percent rather 25 years of age and 19 people were arrested question and search and i believe some have been released now here's what the police had to say earlier in a press conference about those confrontations. there are some of the things that are left behind from the. a lobby including some of.

the food in some life. some. things. we also monitor the some some. to avoid police to trace the identities in terms of the operation of the stuff i think that is organized we have all the case to get. despite these protests and the clashes last night and the government has about to go ahead with this bill a drop the draft law will be read a 2nd time on wednesday more protests are expected from both sides some of the leaders of the protest groups have called on those people who attended yesterday to come back and rally some of even said that they won't go to work on wednesday that will attend this rally now a vote is not expected this week but the government wants it passed by the end of this month or see what happens for the moment. thank you let's cross over to brown

our china correspondent for us in beijing and what sort of reaction are we hearing from the chinese capital adrian. well so from the perspective of china's government hong kong is currently a washing criminals which is why it supports plans for a new extradition law on monday we heard from the foreign ministry spokesman here in beijing who once more reiterated that the beijing government fully supports kerry and efforts in her endeavors to ensure this new law does indeed become that he said that he said disputed that figure that more than a 1000000 people took part in the protest a rally on sunday he said he wanted to believe tended to believe the figure of the hong kong police that no more than 240000 people participated as well as offering support for kerry he also said that external forces were at work in hong kong and i

asked him to elaborate on that and he wouldn't but the message he wanted to get over again and again and he took 6 questions on hong kong on monday was that the central government fully endorses what kerry is doing let's hear what he had to say . firstly the central government will continue to firmly support the government of the hong kong special administrative region to push forward the amendments of the extradition bill secondly china is strongly opposed to any external interventions in hong kong's legislative affairs. we have had slightly more blunt language in state controlled media so though by and large though i have to say that the events in hong kong have not been reflected in television news bulletins here but the china daily newspaper which tends to reflect government thinking again spoke about foreign forces being responsible for what he called the chaos in hong kong and saying that the people of hong kong were being

hoodwinked the foreign ministry also had you know another message on monday and that it was you know the freedoms of hong kong will continue to be preserved under china's rule now of course the so-called one country 2 systems arrangement under which hong kong operates is due to run for about 28 more years after that time in 2047 hong kong will revert fully to chinese rule for the moment we'll leave it there adrian of course and for events with you and with sara from the region as the days progress thank you the hong kong's official standing is quite unique let's just run through how things work legally and politically since handover from british rule to china in 1997 well officially it's a semi autonomous region in china it's led by a chief executive who functions like a prime minister but is chosen by a 1200 member committee made up of mainly pro beijing politicians and business
