7:06 pm
politics so much by then but then this time around you see that the society of hong kong is really united and there is one really clear goal is that they don't want this law to pass and you fear that i like across different generations they all want to stop this law and so how do you think the territory has has changed since those 2040 demonstrations yeah i would say that after the 2014 protests people feel a bit hopeless and they feel that what they did didn't achieve anything and in the following years most fear of hopelessness and people became a bit apolitical but then this time when 1000000 people went on the streets and it feels like people feel like it's coming back like they're right there again and they want to force the opinion and make their voice heard talk do you have thanks so much for the for joining us very interesting that church. and we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world world health organization is to hold an emergency meeting to decide whether it be
