12:05 pm
a southeast portland police precinct so would be fair to say the authorities were seeing that as a potential flashpoint that's exactly right protesters had put online on social media had a time they were going to go to that and protest outside that police precinct so oregon state police. prevented them blocked off the streets and all night long protesters were trying to go through side streets and different avenues to get to the east precinct but oregon state police and portland police prevented them and at one point using tear gas in neighborhoods to disperse the crowd there are reports as well of this noise of a firework or somebody being injured by a firework comes by and with the noise of what could have been explosions but that kind of pushed the police to declare it a riot from the get go. right i think what you're referring to is a molotov cocktail and there was many journalists right there has videos online you
12:06 pm

12:07 pm
a faceoff we understand as well between the police and the demonstrators but then the police decided to retreat just off to several minutes that's right yeah you know this happens all night long were you know police will form a line tell protesters to leave and then they're either you know bull rush them where they run the protesters disperse them or protesters will kind of find some side street and try to stand up to them maybe chant or throw water bottles and this will go on you know 67 times a night and it's happened like that for the past 100 days ok so that you could still show again so that you are almost there reporting live for us to am local time on the streets of portland oregon thank you a memorial being held in washington state for a far right activists killed during protests in portland and danielson was shot during a confrontation with black lines mounted demonstrations the federal government deployed forces to the city in july to stop the violence they've since been withdrawn. military helicopters are being used to fly injured people away from

12:09 pm
a dream brown is our correspondent live at the heart of the story in hong kong adrian you will walk us through just a little earlier how this feels a little bit different because of the new national security legislation and also the reality of social distancing in coronavirus. here and spite of that peter we've still been seeing plenty sort of individual acts of defiance today there was a woman standing on a corner right behind me of a most of the afternoon she's been standing there saying liberate hong kong freedom for hong kong independence is the only way and she did that really for getting on for an hour she's she's moved now but that's an example of the sort of individual acts of defiance that we've been seeing in hong kong in this area of hong kong today and it's certain remarkable really because they're doing that in the face of this sweeping new national security law which makes you know chance like that saying things like that you know against the law what has been happening here today
12:10 pm
peter is that people have been gathering in response to a call on line to gather in this part of hong kong one of the busiest shopping areas just to update them road to show their opposition to the government's decision to cancel the elections which would choose to happen today is what is showing their opposition to that new national security law it was an unconventional protest because what happened was that people would simply doing their best to blend in with regular shoppers and occasionally you'd hear a shout someone saying liberate hong kong or holding up a hand to indicate the fight demands of the protest groups are still calling for now there have been the inevitable arrests but of course this is nothing on the scale that we were seeing up until you know a few weeks ago or indeed even last year but i think. my take out from the day is that these protest groups are saying yes we've lost our ability to protest in large
12:11 pm
numbers but our voice is not going to be silence. basically we want to share deploys to the world how we're being. our of course have been silenced by the government every time we want to apply for our legal protests or marsh they always band and us so this time we didn't apply for a. march or protest to the police we just come up ourselves. one thing you've seen today peter is an extraordinary police presence on the street more than 2000 riot police were deployed they were backed up by water cannon so they were expecting i think the worst and they had responded threatening to respond swiftly and resolutely i think for the moment it seems to be over but as i say it is there in mind that this protest movement is by no means over in itself adrian thank you very much children brown there reporting for us out of hong kong.
