hopefully yes now the police have gaza and still gathering all the mosque looking a picture this. place just putting all that helmets that riot shales the red a concrete testers also all protest is still able to escape from the building. yeah right you know all of the protests have left the legislative. complex booting so. just on the street gathering around the center so this is an area i'll call and as i can see by the these legislative sometime soon there's not many *. protesters saying here to so maybe they're moving. 7 better away because we can see that all the a c.

there's a numerous a riot police gathering he is so maybe there now and i'm moving to other places in central to set up all hall and and to and of calls to try to take them safe if they want to protest against i come back here so definitely they have to keep them safe so that they have a 2nd chance to come back and continue to put. thank you so much for that try stay safe you're watching d.w. news live from those pictures. of the situation at the moment in hong kong riot police are advancing on protesters who've occupied the territories legislature. this is near. parliament police have been seen trying to disperse the protesters with tear gas and batons the demonstrators occupied apartments main debating chamber on monday anti government rallies in the city the protesters have

been have voicing their opposition to a proposed bill that would allow suspects in hong kong to be extradited to mainland china. they demanding the resignation of chief executives. today is the anniversary of britain's over for the economy to china in 1997 on occasion. with the pro democracy protests. there's a live picture from hong kong we're joined in the studios by my colleague. from the territory. sherry let's get your initial reaction to the pictures just. really shocking to see all these speeches expression because you can see the protests. there probably just secondary school and they were just prepared for it so. yeah now we can see that they were.

they stormed the parliament and confronting the police yeah so this is the i think you said this is the seats where this is the center of the legislative area and yet this is a very easy every home call. carried out here and also many. things here and this is all very important role when. hundreds of thousands of students all 17 days this iconic row right now we're seeing the police moving a police. van so where are they where are they appear to be headed. probably the police is just going to tie the purse protesters were left there but. in most of these cases these protesters who were left with. them just lay

there just because the police came and usually they were just moved and ok so they will contact each other on social media and they will gather in another spot to do with what's what's intriguing to me about this police officer actually one of these sorts of things go on in. the past what we're not seeing is arrest mary but we see it's not squirms we're just seeing containment. right now it's actually also a surprise for the protesters who stopped the parliament actually they were before they and they were expecting there would be a lot of police firing tear gas or arresting people right away but then when they enter the building it was actually totally empty and they were just running around in the building and it was a really surprise for them it might be. so

no. we haven't yet heard from. some poll. because they have always been by the side of many of the. protests today and. also always between. negotiate and they were always trying to calm the protests and also to talk the police into not using falls but it's true that we haven't heard from the chief executive sofa which also happened in the. case she made. really late like. what happened we have a response from the e.u. . britain. who is the e.u. researching restraint in the hong kong protests and the united kingdom has said

that support for its freedoms is. the pictures that you're looking live pictures of. police. head of. riot offices complete with and shields moving in protesters. storming. ledges that you know protesters. inside the. police appear to be clearing the area the background of this. of course is the. legislation that was that was proposed and then withdraw that would allow for extradition from hong kong to china. what do we move why i. decided that no was the right move but it was the right moment to try to introduce this. terry tried to introduce this there was actually

a case that's when a couple from home call travel to taiwan and there was a murder happening. because. regulations right now have. trials and so using the recent carolyn tried to introduce this law was she didn't expect a strong reaction from the city from everyone in home call and. actually even after all these protests in the past few weeks she has some she just said she was discussing the law right now and driving rather than destroy and that's actually also why protest on the streets right now and how unusual is the legislation through the chief executive to respond to public pressure in this way it really depends on the chief executive. in the past we can see for example in

2003 there was also a national security law which was proposed by the government to pass but then there was a huge protest also on this day on the 1st of july and it was the biggest protest has seen so far by then and then. decided to withdraw to stop the law as well and so depending on the chief executive and the leaders they really have different response to what the protesters. queue for now you're watching. the pictures you're seeing this is a breaking news that we've been following this right. out of bounds of the protesters from the territories legislature those so we're looking at this scene near home combs parliament building. police have been seen trying to disperse protesters with tear gas and batons demonstrators occupied the parliament's main debating chamber following

a mass anti-government rallies in the city protestors have been voicing their opposition to this proposed bill that would allow suspects in hong kong to be extradited to mainland china they've also been demanding the resignation of the territory's chief executive carol today is the anniversary of britain handing over its a formal company to beijing in 1997 and occasion that has traditionally been marked with pro democracy protests d.w.b. porter phoebe called in hong kong and joins us on the line now welcome phoebe where are you now and what's going on. right now are very. very very whereabouts are you what's going on. oh yeah i know i always look holy when the lion fully as you were

saying fall i had. to lie down to you. like a little numb to all. me will veto it has a saying on a roll all the nearby the such a faded count so so right now i'm on a roll and. trying to this 1st page passes by there how they shoot with them there on that helmet. so they're making an announcement right now i do want. to ask them to leave because they are joining in getting. them and the legal assemblies thousands to leave by the way i don't like the riot police they would use. them or even arrest them so by lowball. again they're just making an announcement and try to put the protest the way. it does appear to have been very restrained so

. no appearance of the brutality. which greeted which met the last set of protests. yes but only the police because they are not such. things a lot of massive protests have to. bear it contains and criticized by the majority of. these times i would say otoh they also that floyd do you get the. chance to see their operation last time. i'm on my own a little. over the last and so. i can see this has to several of the protesters saying on the. no willing to retreat and. i can see some police holding back to you now

willing. so hopefully that will be nobel is all they have says i think it's a difference between the 2 posts. although many protesters left numbers changed. on the number has changed drastically the majority all the protesters them to ready. i mean i'm saying in the area around the lack of places. you can see any protest in the event but only like several of them do things on the street. but now i go we can see hundreds of them right here so that means many of them they already. because all. because some like police here i guess if it be a good bet that they have left the area and. things are going

like maybe ending race didn't play because so it has to stand up saying here. this kind they take a stance on the fettuccine to be seen. those protesters who are left are told why they are still in the face of such a heavy police presence. you know we've gotten the the right now there are you on the side i do i haven't got the time to talk to them so far but according to my knowledge i have spoken to a number of protesters tonight and many things and many employees many of them think that this is. the way they do because even though they will be arrested. even though they may be punished by maybe census i. said they do have to do this because i know i don't mean to to to to.

because we have seen launches leading that rally. anyway says. that it's a major reason. to actually that action is. going down as they. say it's. just because all these. things i'm looking at it does look as though the police have moved the protesters quite significantly saying i'm seeing more press than plaistow protesters this group let's go back a couple of hours when the protesters broke in so the hong kong parliament what do they hope to achieve by the auction.

houses quantify that call them in to the press i was also right there i hear a lot hearing what they're listening to that right now and they have 5 major. life . we can. including 236 additional sales. to. the terrace arises and i'll try and i'll see post 2 weeks ago and also pay them to step down and. more important point is that the official no. he says a whole separate. which is to be the main to be seen days as high as it. was once a. yes so why is a racist. because although this is a reason why they saw me that the paycheck because they say this message this was

supposed. to promote it had been * cruelly and looked critically ill act as part of people's.
