is someone i was by non democratic means anyone who is a sort of china and style of rule the there many countries in the world now that have been going through this process of gradual descent from democracy to talk or so and then you look at the authoritarian regimes, egypt, saudi arabia, russia, some of the other former soviet states. and of course china, most of all. and these regimes are even more authoritarian now than they were 5 or 10 years ago. on the 4th day office and alterations present in may of 2014 cents armed or purchased from the tax police and the prosecutor general service to raid the offices of russia's

5:42 am
the person i'm, so i was i'll just, so i was calling because of my close friends with someone to whom i owe everything i've ever accomplished in my political life. it's it says a lot about today's russia is that this is the price of freedom is that you have to pay the ultimate price. the was targeted into occasions both times and most of those times through sophisticated poisonings presumably carried out by chemical agents. a tool used by the security services government to solve your times. but this method has especially proliferated on the flight of my food. and both times i was in a coma on artificial life, support and doctor's. i told my wife and i had about
5:43 am
a 5 percent chance to live for many people in my generation, in russia, it was sort of inevitable to become really politicized. perhaps small, the beginning of the end. the 1st quarter political memory was the democratic revolution in august of 1991, the 3 days the ended the soviet regime. as we woke up that morning in august of 1991, tens of thousands gather to this and russian citizens must provide school, refused to accept that clinic to but not with anything except the dignity and that determination to defend their freedom. and they went into the streets and literally stewards in front of the tanks. and then attack stopped sylvia in terms of warranty, please. this was my 1st conscious political memory i was trying is on the
5:44 am
times yesterday morning. it is refreshing. the biggest fear with a lot of crime issues of her own people. it has been, i like this throughout history. nothing changes in this regard. it was the image of the section, you know, for invasion. no pressure from our side is as dangerous to them as when they see crowd of people on the streets. like middleton's watch, that'd be many democratic peace of revolutions. but none of them so far have been vis dangerous for letting me put another one in ukraine. russia now is the most impressive, and they mean of democracy and of the strategy of grimley is
5:45 am
to build your russian world at that stop on the ball. tamani stopped on the ball corruption. it's about the culture. they want everyone to feel the company wants to control some bar to this world for their purpose. they think like an item, and you pre is or i did democracy biggest russian speaking. unfortunately to them, of course the
5:46 am
ukraine was mama gwen's ukrainians choose not to fear the improbable deals by some across the board and was hoping to be able to look well. you go to court just to know you want preview all stuff, and there's no news or not. so he will give us pretty much a little overview mazda, i'll put you on. uh, when your stores, real easy, pretty easy to learn. easy, pretty easy, excuse me. what i'm supposed to do with them pretty easy deals pro fluid
5:47 am
the way you crank these. 2 so forth for criminal and means that it's very important for the one for all this model for them. of course, the geographically you print these was actually the needs of these concepts between the worlds, between the liberal world liberal democratic and sort of the every year we become strong. but kremlin, do its best resource we to face because it's impossible to deal with the russian so
5:48 am
resolved to create the coming in. so that reinforcements, 3 units of ukrainian ukraine already will seem the war and it's not only conflict between ukraine and rush. granted, people is not the and the russian. maybe i believe that it's a war against democracy. it's not the crisis feeds him to mate. she to be. if we lose it, hot d 3 will be the last for all in the when there a war politically with your values, principles, and institutions,
5:49 am
you either have to decide that you're going to defend them and fight back. or we are going to be a very, very grave risk. as i sit here, russia is massive troops on the ukrainian border. as i sits here. russia is mobilizing new military power in the arctic ocean and so on. china is mobilizing its military in the south china sea and bearing down on taiwan. i don't think we should see to cold war, but it is a period, a new period of normative battle for democratic values and the, and i think democracies of the world have to recognize this and rise to the
5:50 am
challenge. figuring out how to deal with the rise of china is the great challenge of the 21st century. gotten more authoritarian over the past decade, state champion and alternative to western democratic capitalism. that gives dictatorships like china's incredible vulnerability should a day call when that regime is no longer able to provide economic growth, it will no longer have any reason to stay in power. and the only choice it will have, therefore, if it wants to stay in power, is to use increasing repression and increasing violence against its own citizens. the
5:51 am
sewing 2014, i was asked of the leader. we had the masses of people, diesel beat him, then call it the umbrella and it's not the my, the people work almost democracy and autonomy by the chinese government. we didn't believe them after the 10 them a month ago and under the one positive, hey issue. and so we have hundreds of thousands of it was blocking the major along the a phone call showing a very strong signal that we are demanding for democracy. and the government should listen to our voice. they saw us as troublemakers or even the
5:52 am
trade as of the country because of the month of democratic system in hong kong. so we actually suffered a lot of them after our cities and i'll text the both sides drawing for the election. i managed to to win the election at the age of 73 and becoming the youngest, as elected. let's just say to the hong kong c history, it shows how people wanted to change the but at the end of the day, think of them and they always can find ways to suppress you. they managed to kick me out of the counsel 9 months after i represent the people and it's
5:53 am
a month um i went to jo, quotes the umbrella of this month. i felt definitely bad about it, but um, i actually had a mental preparation for that. and i feel like it's actually, or one of the pit stop in our system, john the, the, at the end of the day on the movement. no seats. but it was a very memorable page of phone conversation. we because a brief, less of the very 1st most if these obedience movement overall of time the i decided to fly out of the city in order to please us a voice and soon enough i left the city. i found myself on the one to based off the
5:54 am
national security at all. if i were to be back to hong kong, i will immediately be arrested and be submitted to the national security court. the charges they put on me, the maximum penalty of it is life in prison. we are literally facing the most powerful authorize, the heritage, i mean the welts. so we're actually facing david for us as good life back. so the everyone wants to change the country on sort of the personal safety, the nothing and history, whatever we know the risks and we accept them because we think our country deserves so much better than you know, being rude in the 21st century except to project expansion the
5:55 am
to nobody i start going to the pleasure of talking about the
5:56 am
the. ready the yes is that the was up north for more of the done by using it number still in any
5:57 am

5:58 am
a yes ma'am. the we show that the premiums are ready to die for the members. are you flight or? sure. that's it. that's it. if you want to try to find you lose any weight because the idea that these guys poor generally shantika view go out themselves. it's not available to you. it's afraid that the most powerful lesson i learned in my life is that
5:59 am
a lot of strong dictatorship. how strongly providing forces, how of a strong and powerful the refreshing when enough people are willing to stand up for us, right? they succeed. and i think even in the darkest times, in the darkest days when it seems to be most difficult and the most appeal to climb, i think it's very important to remember that you know, so your decisions at the saying the night is dark as before the door and i think that is a very important question term good . the pro democracy activists risking their lives fighting autocracy. i know that's why my go to present. good. so i will join the ron democracy, may be exposed to struggling with those who believe democracy is west dying. for we
