not a matter of a knife in hong kong a database of c.b. call joins us on the line from the protests welcome phoebe what are you what's going on now. hi i'm to all the men were all outside the legislators complex which is the mage's question seeing hours ago and but right now all the protest has one of the 1st and last the legislative that's just such a building and i am asleep by so basically that is no small protest. outside the protest area and most of them evacuated very quickly when police fired tear gas at them and only a field of them they saw a little longer than the others but eventually they that's on their own so. as dull as i can see right now that was their only protest his kids it was has just left on

the go but you know for them it's right it's right now did you see me arrests being made. long as i know and according to the reports of the no cold media there was no arrest there was no arrests yet. we know that police say i cannot stop and search around the city and especially the area around a legislative council protest area so they're stopping some of these vehicles the whole to and search and maybe to document some of the. passengers. because no information like maybe to show you so they're doing this kind of thing so we can expect they will try to chase. 5 you both in the aisle compassion and also the precious happened hours ago.

what have you learned about the bright kid to the lead just as if i tried but was not planned or was it a spontaneous event. this is not a well planned action film that sino these kind of social lives and time in these and i started. listening and most of them. there are all the nice social media so. these kind of these protests as they actually say around that that they did come out in from last night but they want to ask their actions but they don't have any conclusion. regarding the concrete action so. this is broader. and a broad a spontaneous action when they say they just decided next that while they're taking action so this is not something we welcome in. a long period of time what do they

want. you know we going to the amounts we have to talk about the protesters call them the mound for several weeks say the that made the mounties think of how the government to complete the trap because of pressure extradition bill. which is only suspended at this moment and they also i don't think that you think to just step down for her political responsibility and also they want a to do except wish an independent inquiry 5 going to events they gave the outcome police. just 2 weeks ago and also then it comes out and called them up with tallahassee and business what they call them and the protesters tonight school get out of town and then they also 8 go and they also

call them. the city too so that the people that say the development and also the company this and what about the woman at the center of all this the home call the chief executive carry law has to be in any comment from her office about tonight's events. so far the home of government and also helping to carry land out. of the only issue of fame and because the condemnation too was the protesters balance. 5 issues right before the patients. we go to the amount of the protest which i have mentioned and the government they really have no response to to any of their requests and. those top government officials and the beijing can call the patients they say we cannot and to

them the balance. because that's the. only thing that we can see so far tonight good talking to you thank you for joining us. more from the to be sure each on who was born in the territory welcome sheree we've seen tens hundreds of thousands of people on the streets old demanding these the old complaining about this this extradition proposal is this organized demonstration does it have a leader. actually all these protests in the past 2 weeks and also the protests today there were no really is clearly this all these young people mostly on the streets because they come in a case on social media they use telegram to organize everything they organize this

applies and they organize the time and the location they will go to they also go to online platform to talk about these and there hasn't been really someone coming out to have a clear choice for everyone so it's really a leaderless. action if this were going to be difficult for the hong kong government to come back and negotiate with anyone and. actually some pro-democracy legislators they always then between the protesters and uncle government or the police to negotiate they always try to calm down the protesters as well so so far they have been the only means of communication between the 2 groups there were demonstrations earlier today before the parliament building stores those demonstrations were peaceful why do you think it changed actually it didn't really change so these 2 groups of protesters they were not doing things together so all these the peaceful protesters on the streets they go on the street

they do their own thing it's what they do every year and these people who stormed the parliament they have been organizing this since dawn this morning since midnight and they actually tried to break into the legislative council in the afternoon already for like 6 or 7 hours and they just escalate their action. approaching midnight so just to be clear that soon as far as you can tell 2 separate sets of protesters one who traditionally demonstrates. the day that britain. china and then separately people protesting against the special edition legislation. separate is a very strong word they know each other they probably know what each other doing but they just do the same things together and. they also for example to put us on the street they could also look at the t.v.

they know what's happening in the legislative council but they still go on there and they protest i know you know some of the people and the related to some of the people involved in this what if they did tell. my friends that my some of my cousins they are actually also in the protest and some of them they told me they were not in the front line because you have to be really courageous and to have a lot of brave to go to the front of parliament but they all. don't want reweave using violence but they also said that. these people chose this way to express their opinions because these people they said that they have use all the means they need they have go on. peaceful protests they have tried to draw international attention and it seems like the government is not doing anything to respond at the month so. they understand each other let's talk about

the reaction of the police the police in hong kong have been criticised for brutality in the policing of previous demonstrations on this issue today very seemed to step back and allow these people to actually storm the parliament building yeah actually all these protests who went into the parliament they were really surprised when they were inside the. it's totally empty they see they saw no police which is not what they expected and so the police have been criticized previously for their violence and this time they really try to restrain himself we can't see or even not to confront the protest says but then some people also said that it's a strategy used by the police because 1st of all. usually for the older generation when they see these pictures all images of. fandom to some. they tend not to support the protests in this way so they will lose some of their support and then 2nd. the law
