a march what should we do. it was so hard they all. disapproved we just stories. our members. will. fight to join us for you if it's not approved well those who are then we better not join in. the all finally the rally is approved by the police zack and his friends bring flags and banners they want their group of young people to be visible. they're prepared for any incident. in 2014 when the umbrella movement blocked hong kong streets for weeks they were too young to participate now is their time. i thought that was. on the floor i think.

by. back 7 i already got out i was running grandmother our gut was organizers estimate that 2000000 people have joined this sunday and although police put the number at much lower it's clearly one of the biggest demonstrations in the city's history. the government's initial response to the protests has further triggered people's anger a few days ago police fired massive amounts of tear gas into the crowds rubber bullets were used for the 1st time since hong kong was handed over to china by britain. today's march however remains peaceful. some of the protesters have camped outside hong kong's parliament they have occupied the area in front of the building and vow to stay until the bill. is fully withdrawn zach hesitates at 1st technically this is an illegal assembly but

it's also exciting. that. in an attempt to appease the protests chief executive carrie lamb has announced postponement of the bill but that is not enough for the protesters they want it to be withdrawn entirely. i took it to her they're going to face right there yes really i thought so much paul i thought i exam week is not over yet zach also has some more exams coming up i was time let me talk to the crowd 1st let's all you know just how long exactly

the fact that. joshua long the leader of the 2014 umbrella movement protest has been just released from a month long jail term that morning. tough guy i hope everybody understands that i will need some time to catch up with these developments i have not even had time to change i'm still wearing the t. shirt and the underwear i was wearing when i was sent to jail. and up i. i i i think after josh well juan's appearance a flurry of activity breaks out protesters decide to march to carry lymes office and demand an answer. zach puts on a t. shirt. cover the school logo on his uniform face masks are a crucial gear for protesters in case of clashes they not only make it harder to

identify them but also offer minimal protection against tear gas. or paint was. a lot of their lot but the march gets stuck a few meters from the starting point a heavy shower dredges the protesters zack and his friends decide to head back. sacks middle class parents prefer to stay out of politics he says that nevertheless they approve of his commitment but they're also worried about his safety and his performance in school. i'm just up. over case. because this was right i like her oh god right from

issue really caught that. all was still. very small and. all. being one of them before. the next day things start moving kerry lamb has called a press conference. i saw that there was that other officer of the fair. you fall off this year for her. yeah i think. at this moment if you're just beginning. to see what i missed that was. what. the pressure on her has mounted since the big march the world is watching hong kong.

i own my nose says yes. to them that's far from enough. i'm not going to do. i never use to do this other thing is shit this stuff comes on my i just do this doesn't work in this case. i. have to step up like that and i'll carry that. hurt. if not working and.
