we'll go live now to sarah clarke she's actually at police headquarters in hong kong and so the use of live ammunition against a protester for the 1st time in these troubles in hong kong represents a significant escalation in the conflict. it does and it will no doubt aggravate and escalate so the hostility on the opposition camps between the protesters and the police force now the police force are holding a press conference here in just under an hour they often hold these press conferences but to die on wednesday they will be under pressure to explain themselves as to why live ammunition was used on chooser during tuesday's rally i can also confirm that 6 rounds 6 other rounds of live ammunition shots were fired on tuesday these were shot supposedly as warning shots during our other 3 other areas around hong kong i can also report that the 18 year old is now in a stable condition he underwent surgery overnight he was in intensive care in the queen elizabeth hospital but he's now in stable condition as you mentioned
12:33 pm
a number of people have come out to protest we've got hundreds of people walking out of going to shine one which is on hong kong island to central we believe they're on their way potentially to where we are if not there already a time apart which is where the legislative council building is now i can also report that 104 people were hospitalized on tuesday 2 others are in critical condition and 2 others are in a serious condition and 180 people were also arrested on tuesday and 25 police were also injured so it was an extraordinary day of dramatic scenes and certainly the escalation of violence has just been a turning point i think for these protests which are now in their 4th month what happens to all of those who were arrested yesterday is there are they due to make court appearances today. or court appearances have been held for 97 of the people who were arrested on sunday and i can tell you that 96 of those 97 have been charged with writing acts. now if you are charged with
12:34 pm
a writing act that incurs a heavy a penalty and a much heavier jail sentence so it's a much more serious offense and i can also commend them for me that the government has now been referring to this yesterday as 2 sides rally as brassy act so once again they're now upping the ramping up the level of offense in a bid to try and kind of rein in these protests now the president should also increase the charges but with regards to ongoing protests we expect another one on sunday night this is in defense or in support of the indonesian journalists who were shot on sunday and we expect more flash more protests like we're seeing today to a coming days but certainly as you said the level of hostility from hard to side has certainly been elevated always delighted since tuesday's use of live ammunition on sarah thanks for that sarah clarke live at home kong police headquarters now the u.s.
