week that gatherings of 5 were illegal and anyone who was found at these protests would be arrested and prosecuted we know they will go close to 100 people last night most of them were released without charge and they said today will be tougher i think the protesters are expecting that this stage however we haven't seen any sign of the solution all the army. they appear to have been caught on the wrong foot once again doubtless they will be out later on this evening i think testers are expecting and what's been the reaction tony to last night's crackdown. i think people were not overly surprised i think there's perhaps a feeling that the protests are pushing the limits of the government's patience nonetheless they have been peaceful they've made a point to. point out that this has been a peaceful protest and i think a lot of people seeing those water cannons going against peaceful protesters some

in high school uniforms is something of a shock they do appear to be getting increasing support as days go on. difficult to say at this stage how many people will ultimately come out here and the other 2 sites but i think this is going to be a problem the government's going to have to recognize and some stage of just cracking down harder and harder doesn't seem to be stopping the protest tony chang reporting live there from bangkok tony many thanks indeed. people in chief may have returned to the streets ahead of the anniversary of last year's massive protests it was merely peaceful during the day but violent place and with police firing tear gas and water cannon cannon demonstrators say that they're still waiting for the government to fix social inequality and to rewrite the constitution in america it's a loose in human reports from santiago. this was the finale of
