chief executive carrie lamb compas lesson haifa protests were confined to one or $200.00 guy areas but are now is all over hong kong across the territory 2nd day so far. are cases of arson going off the truck bombs but they were on the street or outside the am talk stations canady doing it inside the m.t.r. station and that can lead to serious danger i certainly. knew this was substantially venda lies mostly the public buildings in the past but now some. protesters targeted certain things or shops. forcefully people different views in the past there were just i'm some big currying or some assault but now there's lynching to resolve these matters and then finally. passed them there was just confrontation or on police officers and

now there are there's not a soldier there's a use of these so weapons corrosive language snatching of suspects and smashing of police. so the police have no choice but to use their guns to try to say their own lives and then there's the nother very worrying. trend in the past in the recent protests and violent protests resealed last number of students taking part from june to august the number of students arrested accounted for about 25 percent of those arrested but from september since the start of school to know the percentage just gone up to 38 percent. on some. unknown factor in a case where a protester was shot and injured he is also a secondary school student much. so we see in isolating violence things like

public is. a very dangerous state and then the last number of students taking part in protests is the running citing the violence is destroying hong kong and then young people who are our future and i'll play in a very dangerous position so we must do. and violence and prevent students from. breaking the law or further we must save. hong kong time you're going to present hong kong and the future hong kong. now because there have been cases of public although being compromised in recent say so as a responsible government we must not shy away from existing legislation without using such legislation we can't just leave a situation to get worse and worse. and the sector just asserted before we.

have been examining existing law or so seats which provisions could be used invalid to florida to do with the current situation that includes. increasing to determine a fact for those who try to break the law and also. measures to help the police to enforce the law of this morning i call it a special meeting of the exact account so the chief executive in can so decided to invoke the. emergency regulations ordinance to enact a prohibited and face covering regulation now this has been discussed for a long time and a committee of the n.t. mask legislation this regulation will come into fact tomorrow and the 1st of october why do we need to have this piece of regulation this because the past 4 months we've seen that almost all protesters who carried out vandalism and violence

covered their face and the purpose was to hide their identity and evade the law and they have become more and more daring so we believe the prohibition on face covering regulation will be an effective deterrent to radical behavior you also have to please in enforcing the law in a moment the sector for justice will be a bigger year on the content of the regulation we know that many have expressed support for an anti mosque legislation they have got started in other countries is a similar. law but i know it's also there are. against the men often and legislation and certain they've questioned certain legal principles and they have expressed concerns in a moment i would fight the sector for justice to give a response now what i would like to say to the people hong kong is this. it is not an easy decision to legislate to ban my ass but also given the

current situation hong kong this is a necessary decisions i would like to stress to a point firstly. you know. what we invoke emergency regulations ordinance under. the prohibition in face covering regulation but that does not mean hong kong is in a state of emergency the chief executive council has not declared hong kong. having the state of emergency. it's just that the ordinance gives powers to the chief executive in can so that when we believe there is dangerous danger to public then we could act accordingly no i don't think anyone will question that in hong kong we have already seen the scenario of a public all there being endangered so therefore we could invoke the emergency regulations and then detective in congress could make any regulations that are in

line with public interest so i must stress that yes we are using the emergency regulations ordinance and the regulation we are in acting as prohibition on face covering but it doesn't mean hong kong is in a state of emergency but at the same time the situation we see in hong kong. does satisfy this requirement of endangering subtopic order and secondly this regulation. and violins. return us to peace i believe that is the aspiration of all in hong kong and certainly the regulation would target those who use violence when i stand there maybe other people who need to know where our mosque covered if a is because of a legitimate need that's right in the regulations there is a sanction courses where there is

a reason to friends and the needs of these people would be taken care of so we believe therefore the regulation has struck the right balance in a moment the secretary just says all the secretary for security will be. giving a detailed explanation and finally i would like to say this is a regulation so the nature is that it is a subsidiary legislation. scene. it's just a. piece of societal subsided i just lation my negatives and vetting that means when the letter becomes the resumes on the 16th of october the government will table this piece of legislation to the allegedly council for consideration now finally i hope of the public will support and i'm saying what we're doing and i appeal to the public that we should all say no to violence we must work together to let hong kong go back to the normal

hong kong a place where we can call home. and my ruling team will continue to go by the 4 initiatives and now it's only through dialogue and through more studies hopefully we could identify the deep rooted problems in hong kong that we can respond accordingly in english protests arising from the fugitive offenders bill have continued for nearly 4 months now. over this period protesters violence has been escalating and has reached a very alarming level in the past few days causing numerous injuries and leaving hong kong to a chaotic and panic situation so you've just been listening there to hong kong chief executive kerry lamb and now seeing this emergency legislation to ban the use of face mosques by protesters as was widely expected she said that this would come

into effect tomorrow. criticizing the protesters for what she called on law for and on on authorized demonstrations this is seen as an attempt from the point of view of protesters to try to intimidate them and as well and we've seen large numbers of them out in the streets in hong kong today with their face masks on scott heiler is live in hong kong for us there so scott as expected there the chief executive in acting this denouncing the she was acting this new emergency law that would take effect from tomorrow bypassing the legislature under these supposed emergency powers. but as we've been seeing on the streets there the protesters that remain undeterred about all this. they do house and absolutely you know she

said security limits you know like you said that there was a dangerous public order because of these protests and she needed to do this to try to restore order and it's very interesting you know this is something that has a law and emergency law that dates back to the lonely old days and it hasn't been inactive for over 50 years so feels as though it's important to try to stop the violence she said in hong kong and acting this emergency law. now what it is is that if the police see anyone who's trying to conceal their identity with a mask they have the right to pull over and tell them to remove it or have it removed by the police that is what they're doing that's what's going to move forward as you said house and starting tomorrow we see that it's not going to sit well with these protesters whatsoever they will continue to wear them they have said the people here who have been out on the streets in hong kong you know it is a patient of this announcement they have been out here bear wearing the mask you can see and even before that even when there are rumblings that this emergency mob

might be enacted they have been saying the same thing on cross city now what happened today there was a gathering that started at lunch time about 2300 people in the garden pretty close to where we are in the central financial district right here on phone started small and it grew to about $500.00 in this garden and then they marched march about a kilometer to where we are now there were thousands their homes they took this kind of snaking through the urban caverns here with buildings and things and through walkways and shopping malls and then they gathered here shutting down this major intersection and they've been here now for almost 3 hours so this is something they they're taking very seriously these protesters what's ensure interesting house and you know in the lead up to kerry lands and now it's kind of heard from both sides the protesters are saying this is only going to make things worse like a couple weeks ago carol lam tried to tamp things down by holding a dialogue with 150 people that didn't do anything if anything it inflamed the protesters more protesters are saying that's what this massacre last week was he's

making this attempt to try to calm things down they say it's going to have opposite effect. all right for the moment scott had a lot for stair in hong kong we will continue to monitor events sad there as and when they happen very fluid situation there right now but to other stories. leading democrats in the u.s. are accusing president donald trump of breaching his oath of office that's after asking ukraine to investigate his political rival trump has now called on china to do the same of the request to ukraine's president in july has already triggered an impeachment inquiry our white house correspondent kimberly how kit has the latest from washington. with his presidency caught up in an impeachment investigation over a phone call with the ukrainian leader u.s. president donald trump on thursday called on china to get involved what. is just about as bad as what happened was. when you phrase the unconventional

inside on al-jazeera rather it's inside story. man children are risking it all. in the country's most populous. the death of a dirty old man holds to ban them from the real one a one a fleet's time. on. helping the helpless as the e.u. finally found a solution to the migrant crisis it's taken almost 5 years for some e.u. states to put together a draft deal how many of the others will also now sign up and what does it mean for tens of thousands of asylum seekers rescued at sea you can't move forward nor go back this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program today with me peter dhabi october the 3rd marks 6 years since the lampedusa migrants tragedy that was when more than 300 people died as their overcrowded ship capsized off the italian coast this year and for the 6th in a row more than 1000 migrants and refugees have lost their lives in the mediterranean those who have survived to either been detained deported or they're living in dire conditions european countries receiving the influx of still debating how to tackle the crisis a draft deal was reached last month by germany france italy malta and finland on how to relocate people who have been rescued they'll try to get other e.u. countries on board when they discuss the plan next week one prominent figure in the crisis has told e.u. leaders their approach is quote shameful see watch captain cut all over katty was arrested and fined for illegally entering an italian port with $53.00 rescued migrants after being trapped at sea for more than 2 weeks. having to explain to the

survivors we had rescued but the country and peace. but europe the so-called nest of human rights and civil liberties that got consumed worse to touch its land it was hard to be a european citizen in those states it felt very shameful. well almost 80000 people have risked their lives making the journey to europe so far this year most arrived in greece more than 40000 at the latest count but camps had there are already overcrowded and that's being blamed for recent deaths about 20000 arrived in spain it is already struggling to accommodate thousands of migrants many are unaccompanied children with no work and nowhere to sleep the number of migrants arriving in italy rose in september the 1st increase since the start of 2018 despite hardline anti migrant policies its elite has taken in more than 7000 people all 3 countries say they need

a plan to redistribute the migrants. here we go let's introduce our guests today in brussels on skype remoter a humanitarian affairs advisor on migration of doctors without borders and also on skype from milan matteo via a fellow at the italian institute for international political studies welcome to you both remember in brussels coming to you 1st will this deal actually work the most of those been running such a risky activities in the mediterranean for the 3 years now and what we've seen that is a situation that has been created by a political chaos we do not believe that disembarkation should be linked to memory location and of the 1st priority for search and rescue should be saving lives at sea and that's what any deal any discussion especially rescue should be ok thanks for that material here in milan why is it so far into this crisis and it's now been going on a long time are we still only talking about

a draft well there is it is there was a new political commitment from the many countries beforehand that are not conscious or only europe and right now it's still a tentative deal because india and the commitment of money comes from germany hotly i would say and from france maybe a little less inwardly and other countries lead to join and these need to be brought to the. and in the end this is not this is the draft because it's quite normal and original even we say it's a tradition because it's been discussed outside do you framework and now it's been brought to you as a whole to be discussed this is it has a risk of not flying that much because the only consensus had censor ministerial arrivals to italy a month and these are got arrivals to greece and spain that right now the majority of the arrivals regularized to europe india i mean treatment why you describe it in the way you just have i mean it occurs to me correct if i'm wrong here it's something of a work around i.e.

the existing pan-european legislation that comes to dealing with migrants last refugees is inherently flawed because it basically goes back to the aftermath of the 2nd world war. yes roy it's not just that we have actually let's say a group in dui which is the probably regulation that says that all of us and them see it as coming from outside the e.u. should be processed by the 1st country of arrival and that's not something safe but mostly they should and so in dns of the countries the 1st arrivals faith or the priests have always asked you countries to come in and join in this league parity and say ok we can take it relocate some of these and help you. at least their requests and maybe take care of the retention of those who are not then indeed protected and then protect those for granted protection by what's been happening in ames that means that it has been some careless and india and the only silly verity is the let's say and what magic city that is from the fact that as a music is that

a right to eat in the recent spain indian relocate themselves why do not the movements within the e.u. but not need to be saying yes this is a work around from a situation that's been there for years and it's hard to to move in brussels if it doesn't work what kind of positive impact could it have on those countries who've been there on the front line of this i'm thinking here specifically about greece the great governments as well of course and the greek islands. look carefully as pointed out the current discussions during include grace even though the number of arrivals to grace increased quite significantly and the discussions are only really focusing on the central mediterranean at the moment and it is to solve this problem of the standoffs see that have been happening for the past year which occur aided by this tension around going to a port of safety and and so we need to prioritize once again that when rescues are conducted at sea the 1st thing that we should be focusing on is making sure that they have a designated port of safety that should be the priority and if people can be

processed on shore and then relocated but that's another discussion we'll come to that in just a 2nd i'm sure him well as we've been mentioning here on inside story greece is bearing most of the burden of migration across the mediterranean the new greek government has said it will take a tougher stance on the crisis it plans to deport $10000.00 people to turkey by the end of next year and relocate hundreds of camps on the greek mainland material get into the nitty gritty of deportations in just a 2nd but historically looking back to when this crisis initially spiked what 4 and a half 5 years ago now why was it or who took the decision that it would always be done on a case by case basis not just a country by country basis but literally a boat by boat basis but this is actually the boat. was actually there when we speak italian deal has been has been dealt with since the 18th.

there's been an agreement of sorts of the collaboration is the most talked about and these kind of the creation actually was the movement of 40 which implied that. the writers writing to greece would be retained and then this same amount at least not serious would be resettled to europe's taken from 2nd then taken city to europe so this never worked out in the end 3. unli returned about 1500 people of the more did 1000000 persons who reached greece and more than 350000 persons who reached greece after these curation so didn't work so the group called and said ok we want to return 10000 people right right now is going to be hard because again greece has only managed through 101500 people in 2 years and said to return 10000 persons to turkey rather deemed so-called safe countries it's going to be very hard

to trace and maybe we have to look into tentative solutions for these persons who are not stuck in greek islands and ream you were talking there in your earlier on about how they're going to sort through people on board the boat at that point in this process those people are in a terrible state they haven't eaten properly they haven't had water properly they haven't had a shower for days maybe weeks how do you do that when you're dealing with a boatload of people who don't have the right paperwork how do you decide where they go or where they go back to. yes as material mentioned. in the grease and our people are contained on one of the 5 greek islands this containment policy has resulted in 30000 people currently being contained on the 5 great guyland and this is a cyclical process of overcrowding of really bad conditions of lack of hygiene and what we have seen and in these cases a complete and utter health and mental health crisis that is being created in

european policy is based on 2 principles e.-tec he promises based on idea of containing people somewhere in the great guns to process them and then quickly returning them somewhere else this containment is is is completely causes large amounts of how we see we seek children every day we have a pediatric clinic a mental health clinic and until that solution until this policy is addressed and revised we're going to keep seeing the cycle of calm so we really as imitator said need to find alternative solutions and so it's not just transferring people up the great guidelines to the great mainland but really addressing and the system in of itself the logic behind the deal ending the deal and potentially looking at options about relocating people to other european states this is not just a greece problem this is a euro problem. when rim talks about the circle of all i'm thinking here there was a point perhaps 18 months or 2 years ago when the relevant authorities sent teams

on the ground to the greek islands that effort to then i'm not being overly critical but that effort then didn't work why should this new effort doing it in this way on the boats actually worth well as this is actually you know the tent as always been at least in the past few years in the. externalized institutions that do not allow people to get to the mainland at least in greece or maybe even process them before they get. there. at least legally in the us seems to be quite a physical one to time it's very it's almost impossible to process people under both it's true that the current greek government has proposed this kind of solution if not prosecuted and worse i don't think really it can be sustained really illegally it would mean that you have to take purses and take them maybe 3 days maybe 4 weeks actually currently do you know the evolution process last 4 years so

how can these be compressed in times of days for the people prisoners can be detained this is the it is within a discourse of containment of these persons here either in our own islands or on the mainland but in the end we really have to keep in mind that these bases either since it is not simply migrants their purses and they cannot be treasonous detainees in a sense or essay that's a danger for national security as such so we really have to look into how 2000 and if you go on and how to find solutions in europe and maybe save britain but maybe less 7 new courses that were going to be 10 this poses a kind of sentences for some countries in europe seems to be a safe country for us he's not are there 2 dynamics here the big one the main one is people escaping. conflict people escaping what's going on in syria we were talking the matter he was mentioning the people getting out of afghanistan for

totally understandable reasons well so that's the big one but is there a smaller one it is how politicians at the leading edge of eastern europe who are on the the extremities of the e.u. react to this within a prism of the flow of their own domestic political structures the way that a country like hungary say will tilt or italy will tilt slightly to the right a country then goes off at a tangent maybe spends 18 months or 2 years reacting in a particular way and then as we've been discussing about italian politics it then tilts ever so slightly to the left yeah. i think we have to remember that this hostile environments and this increased hostility is not unique to to some countries i think we have seen an increase of this rhetoric across europe and also in other places around the world. but also these policies the migration management policies being implemented in europe a quite consistent as well with the with the evolution of this kind of deterrence

and containment extol i station so i wouldn't really say it's only based if the eastern european countries but actually the way in which the european migration management rejean and the way in which the european migration management agender is being implemented as a whole so i think it is of this quite a few layers in this story is another one of these layers material the way that certain western european leaders are basically saying to those eastern european leaders like us they will be penalties involved i mean that kind of adopting the moral high ground but they're saying we're going to penalize other countries how would they do it and what would the penalties be. it's hard to say in dns it as it removes same ease western government ever benefited and worked around to and maybe we've the eastern governments for some time and no government right now even disinterested parties in europe once had higher levels of migration and many not as a 1st countries all right now did benefit from the tell important policy let's say

politics up close in the ports in dnd said this is the kind of. i would say feasible in a similar balance that we reached in which all of do you want to close the gates so yes when you say we want to punish this did not put this been asleep that is mostly to read ok people were really there but india and in terms of solidarity it seems what we have seen is that it is sorely lacking and even now for instance with the change government immediately there is no consensus on whether to go back at sea and take back and doing search and rescue operations for fear that migrants would to increase again review seem to be saying a couple of minutes ago here on inside story deal with the problem of source when is the war in syria how do you do it when it's the the crisis the ongoing situation of being an afghan from afghanistan how do you do it. yes so i think that

the you know meet today we have the highest levels of displacement in the world so we have 70000000 people displaced all over the world but you have to remember a very small percentage of those people are actually riding in europe or even making the journey towards europe so to even have a language of a crisis or an emergency when as as you rightly pointed out there's other places in the world where there's hundreds of thousands of millions of refugees m.s.f. works in many places around the world so we also have to keep this in perspective and we also have to send a humane approach we have to center approach in which people can access their their rights to seek asylum they have they are able to be individually assessed and in the meanwhile they're not trapped in detention centers and not trapped in containment camps where their health 1 and well being is deteriorating every day this currently is full of 1000 children on the great guyland unaccompanied by the children of greek islands and there's no solutions for them to be living anywhere that's safe for them you know so we really need to make sure that we have approach

where we're actually you know keeping things in perspective and we're addressing we're making sure that people that do arrive in european shores have access to the humanitarian assistance but they need in case we sound like we're criticizing this this poor structure plan is there a sense in which perhaps it may just be the beginning of a common across the e.u. migration policy. i'm quite skeptical of that but let's try just try to push the nose right to say that yes it's true that if you compare the situation to the one just 2 months ago it's reading comparable in terms of how much you know how many steps italy has done to deescalate situation in other countries did you know that you have italy that was perceived as being you know that perceived this has been left alone. might be the truth east other revelations are these that means that you

know. all right most migrants will need to be processed by 1st conscious of our own we stay there probably in the future and we have to work around it and the 2nd thing is the truth is do you does not have a common migration policy when it comes to regularize once and he always leaves with them by the same too many you know. you know even if $1000.00 he's too many so we have to look at that approach but it's always in the hands of the member states so yes we can be positive but only member states that. just do not know start not looking just at short term but also look at means long term solutions which must mean that the military many seen as a scene that we 'd always be a crossroads of migration and so therefore that we will have to have a public system of social rescue place that makes it stable. and the boy was in an essay that do you share negativity from. in as much as it may not be

a common policy across the e.u. but can i suggest to you but it's got to be i mean 2015 we're talking about 1300000 people we really need to find solutions i think a lot of the still the problems that we're discussing though and not linked to the numbers of people there i think they're not linked to the the situation there that the people that are arriving in there are actually linked to the political crisis. and i think that's what my tail is touching on that there the that there's a lack of you know other countries stepping up there's a there's a political there was a political crisis that was deescalated we have as i said before we have to keep this in perspective that it's you know i don't like talking about numbers because i think that's a secondary point but the numbers are very small yet you have yet you have people dying in the mediterranean sea at a ratio that we haven't seen before and why is that that is because there's no power it's currently doing productive search and rescue when before 2015 there were

that was the case so we have to also make sure that we we are not also buying into the political crisis that are being created and that we're looking for humanitarian solutions we're being rational are being pragmatic and we're making sure that with entering the needs of people at the heart of the conversation which often gets lost ok there is this elephant in the room the voluntary aspect of what we're talking about and what we think this deal may or may not become would it work or would it be helpful to say poland and hungary if the e.u. centrally said we will throw money at this and that would then presumably send the right signals to the greek government which brings us back to last boss 24000 people who came out of boats and they've ended up on lesbos they can't go back and they can't go forward you're right you see the problem here is that this kind of deal is not going to greece you know in a way in any way so for now this tentative deal yes it. does not go to

help increase in spain unless we we need this kind of agreement that it's not only send somebody to really. bother me to them other than their own fault but also state interest let's suppose that this happens then yes it might help to put more to. say. probably it's much better to throw money at them saying we want to punish and canalize these who do not participate at the same time or do not mix. that you know through countries to hungary poland so i do think buying this deal which is monitoring the end and i think that migration can be done if we use more of the number of part of. countries that want it but are disputing any deal that can alleviate the pressure on 1st countries right now should ease days not huge consensus on these despite these kind of 1st steps and so even germany and france are some will be pushed but it all modern computing right now at least and by the

narrative of crisis is that it really wasn't enough to say well you know better try going to be backtracking a bit and maybe going back to cincinnati for so yes there is some way out of these prices it will be willing to take my missteps underway for years a theory here on inside story we've just been joined from birmingham by. a research on violence and borders at the university of birmingham welcome to you here on the program we've kind of established in the past 25 minutes or so that this is a a domino a chain of responsibility to make this draft deal work and function properly within that chain which country or which countries reaction is the weakest link for you it's a bit complicated but a thing this reaction is that the west wing because they don't seem to have an actual plan that we respect human rights. but at the end of the day it's the e.u.'s

responsibility to takes to take some action and action is something how can it be made to work. her. i'm not sure that it can work if we're speaking about they get their kid there then it's not going to work it's not working because all the responsibility has fallen on grey's agrees is incapable of doing anything and i'm not sure it's willing to do anything. they you at the same time they do seem stale and willing to do something and we have seen this with. the agreement that they have made with italy and libya their grandmother they have made in grace so i'm not sure that they're actually have said their minds on finding a solution we're talking about the e.u. turkey deal bets a little bit of agenda we're also talking about this new draft deal that they will start talking about early next week who is the main driving force behind that and

are you convinced that they can deliver on the momentum that they need to deliver on to make it a success. no i am not convinced that they will find a solution and they will make a success out of any detail because they don't seem to be willing to find a solution so i am. unless i see the actual daily unless the talks start and lead we have the final draft and the final agreement then all i can say is that i think it's going to be a failure who do you think you know that the past has shown us pardon me for interrupting you that who do you think will win out here the lobby that seems to say send them home or and maybe deal with the issues back home wherever home is or welcome them to europe but move them around within europe and then process the paperwork i think the love with us send them back with wayne but it's not

going to be successful because in order to send them back they 1st have to establish that where this and the bike is a is a safe place. and the the country that will accept them back should actually accept them because this is how bilateral agreements pork and i'm not sure that it's going to happen. again of that they've that europe should should give some suit should have the for the final response to break then people should be distributed in europe because if they some of them bog than their lives are not safe because at least those who are in greece the majority of them are refugees they're not economic migrants are or however they want to call them ok we have to leave it there thanks to all our guests today they were removed kind of the lucky and and thank you to you 2 for your company you can see the program again anytime on the website al jazeera dot com and for further discussion to check out our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter at a.g.

bringing back a colonial era emergency law hong kong bans face mosteller rallies to try and restore order after months of violent protests. and have them think of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up security forces open a file in protesters in baghdad after iraq's prime minister tries to calm tensions

saying that demands have been heard. u.s. president donald trump accused of breaching his out of office after he calls on china to investigate his political opponent. going when no diver has been before a campaign to protect the world's oceans gets a unique insight into an unexplored reef off the coast of south america. a lot of it hasn't happened in hong kong for more than 50 years the government as an act of the colonial era emergency law which includes a ban on face masks at protests protest rallies demonstrators are continuing to conceal their identity and give protection from tear gas fired by police. a ban comes into effect on saturday chief executive carrie lamb saying it was needed to

restore order the government has been unable to stop for months of increasingly violent protests against how hong kong is run the chief executive in council decided at a special meeting this morning to invoke the power under the emergency regulations ordinance and make a new regulation in the name of prohibit face covering regulation which is essentially an empty mosque law although the ordinance carries the title emergency home call it's not in a state of emergency. well scott lane is live for us and now in hong kong so scott this is the latest chapter in this ongoing showdown between the hong kong government and those protesters how significant is it that they are now invoking this emergency nor from the colonial era. was.

yes and it's a you know when we look at the moves by the own kong government over these last almost 4 months of protests nothing has worked and in fact when they have put in certain measures that they thought they were hoping the government to tamp down the people coming on the streets it is actually backfired and that's what one opposition lawmaker has even said in reaction to this emergency law be enacted anti moscow he said that there was a big mistake in this probably will have the opposite effect and that's what we've been hearing from these protesters here housing we are right essential financial district of hong kong of these protesters out here have blocked this main main intersection right here on this came after a lunch time protest at a garden nearby they marched here and they have stayed here for several hours now blocking traffic in this main main artery it's going to be interesting in the next hour or so that's when all these skyscrapers will empty and all the workers will come down will be joined here or will there be confrontation here we don't know yet but it's very interesting that you know this continued as long as it has we thought

was a missile going to be just a quick march after months of protests but it's starting to gather now and scott those protests has been out in the streets from from the beginning of the day from the fall kerry lamb came on and made that announcement are you getting any sense there that the mood is as changed now since she's made that announcement any any increase in the numbers now at all was right now it looks like the numbers have diminished a little bit from that big much time rush that we saw again not sure if there's going to be an after work russia as well but the rhetoric and what the people have been saying here. it was pretty much the same because the new local newspapers were reporting this pretty much was going to go into effect before we heard that kerry lamb announcement so they had time to digest the news and we asked a lot of the them when they were marching in a lot of them now and it's the same that this is only going to give them more resolve they are going to continue to wear their mask they're going to continue to come out in protest what's interesting is now the police have the authority

starting on saturday to on mass people they believe that they are trying to block their identity with these not obvious seats goes with the reasons or religious reasons they can keep them out so on also the education bureau has announced that students and less it's for health reasons or unless it's for religious reasons they cannot wear mass at school so it's very interesting to see this stuff done by the government here how it's going to go over with the protesters so far it doesn't seem like it's really changing their minds about what they're going to be doing and how they're going to be doing it moving forward alright for them scott ally for us there in hong kong thanks scott. security forces in iraq capital baghdad of open fire on protesters in the early hours of friday they were defying a curfew there they came into force on thursday morning 31 people have now died in protests in iraq this week imran khan joins us on the phone now from the iraqi

protesters but as i've said before is a seemingly. leaderless movement so whether the protesters actually listen to. the smithsonian is statement remains to be seen but there is a lot of moving but all eyes really now on the statement coming from the highest shia muslim cleric in the country. thanks for that imran khan live for us there in baghdad leading democrats in the u.s. are accusing president donald trump of breaching his oath of office after asking ukraine to investigate his political rival trump has now called on china to do the same the request to ukraine's president in july has already triggered an impeachment inquiry our white house correspondent kimberly halkett has the latest from washington. with his presidency caught up in an impeachment investigation over a phone call with the ukrainian leader u.s. president donald trump on thursday called on china to get involved what. is
