trying to dispel the protest is going to have people about who to go home basically but people are too angry to go home so we are seeing we're not seeing protesters setting up barricades in other parts of the city and i don't think. this is supposed to end anytime soon and it seems they want to stick with you as long as they are safe can you just briefly tell us what are those protesters saying we hear a lot of commotion a lot of yelling in the background. you know well now they're warning each other things happening they're saying things like retreat or they have been warning that is that when that they're waving at me to get their way i was wrong about place where i was thanking them imo it's. the holy protest has changed and how strange from a single issue a protest about thanks bill that was this. it's basically

a protest that is mostly about police brutality it's about it's about perceived police brutality about the actions of the police about the relationship between the government and the protesters and all the population of hong kong people are going to. be on happy with what was be happening in the last week sit down happy with the with the police response how. do you want an investigation police action and i can smell the sickness and think i will leave you i mean she is deaf and get to a safe location where you are right thank you for that report in hong kong as those protests start to escalate a tear gas being fired at protesters there now i want to mention mathias has been speaking with protesters on the ground he actually was able to catch up with one of the leaders. and here's what he told me don't. let the protests get them from

police or not polish the you would use pepper spray and rubber bullets and tear gas fire on activists that's why protest get up through from police force oh no it's not meant to animal protests might continue. do you expect protests all clashes to be more frequent. protests might continue on every way and now is not only related to urgent government department have been the bill now it's the summer off this content to beijing and hong kong government last week we experienced pro beijing games and most ordinary citizen yesterday we experienced whole riot police beaten on he's fro protester inside railway station know what a probation dance hall is for serving the interests of beijing they are just. hoping to silence the boys of hong kong people what do you think the outcome of this protest movement calls for democracy will never stop we will continue our

fight lead of hall should not be appointed by beijing leader of hong kong should be elected by home people. that was one of the protest leaders joshua wong speaking with our correspondent in hong kong earlier today let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a landslide in southwest china has buried a village in mud and claimed at least 36 lives in ongoing rescue operation as recovered bodies and censor virus to the hospital landslides are a danger in rural parts of china particularly after heavy rain. u.s. president donald trump has been accused of launching a racist attack against black democratic congressman elijah cummings trump fired a volley of tweets calling cummings district of baltimore a quote rat infested mess cummings had criticized conditions for migrants on the us mexico border top democrat nancy pelosi says trump's insults were racist to

american teenagers have been charged with killing an italian police officer in rome the men allegedly stabbed the officer 8 times after he and a colleague confronted them on friday night over a bank theft kalyan media reports that one of the suspects as confessed it. all right to moscow now where the number of people arrested and yesterday's opposition rally reached to over 1000 they were attempting to rally outside the mayor's office to protest the banning of opposition candidates from upcoming local elections activists say it's the biggest crackdown on dissent in many years. a show of force from moscow police facing off against an unauthorized demonstration as people took to the streets to demand free municipal elections one protester after another is arrested. for the people taking part here a sign the authorities in flooded me or putin's russia fear their dissent could

spread. but. you cannot be indifferent if we don't start with these local moscow elections when will it ever begin russia's a big country and i hope people will see what we're doing. and with scenes like these that's what authorities seem determined to prevent as the protests began police stormed the offices of opposition leader alexina valmy who had been streaming the demonstration live on the internet they arrested his studio head they also raided internet t.v. station. and ordered its editor in chief to undergo questioning. but for now the strategy appears to be keep the protesters and their anger against the ruling party contained. want to go back now to hong kong our correspondent standing by mitzi has . tear gas being fired at citizens there at protesters what's the situation now

where you are a hope you're in a safe location far enough away from that tear gas being fired. because at the moment it's quite ok protesters are now back up front to the in the state. police are trying to drive them away from the liaison office the chinese representation in this city that's a place that of course highly sensitive and the chinese government of course did not react very well when this location was us trade and on the face that the symbol the national symbol was defaced. last week so they have said because. of security measures around this area but this is just one of the many areas in this city that are occupied right now protesters have blocked major roads throughout the whole city or from paul that we saw the whole island city center and

right now they say again. that tear gas being fired over there so it's going to go back and forth with the hold out even being i suppose the police is trying to drive them away they're trying to stay this is what's happening tonight and the ts as long as we have you there while i want to talk a bit about what the protesters are saying you spoke with joshua wang you heard him say now that this is about more than just the extradition bar is there a sense that now this wave of violence this chaos that is changing on call was i was at house already this summer house already changed that's for sure these have been the biggest protests haven't. history all wrong and that the city is definitely changing it depends of course on what is going to happen whether it's going to change for the better or for the worse because of course we will we might see an escalation of violence we might maybe also see although that is not very

deep trouble some kind of a new pontiff tell you that at the moment i don't see it and. people are hoping that you know that this would be peace and thank change this speaking of dialogue where's kerry lamb in all this why haven't we heard more from hong kong's leader. well we can suppose that he has and she has not spent these 8 weeks at the beach but we don't know much more about this. has not a few press conferences mainly after the worst clashes to denounce protesters violence but she has not been seen she has not really taken any initiative the response of the government to this protest have not only be extremely slow it's also be extremely in now this government is not controlling the situation and the signal it is sending is that it is not in control. as we mentioned this is becoming

now about bor than just that controversial extradition bill that would have sent citizens back to mainland china can you get a sense out what do the protesters want what are their demands now. what now it's much more about police brutality perceived excessive violence of the police then the origin of the extradition business why would these 8 weeks anger has built up in this city and what people are demanding no the most important of the demands there are several but the most important one is that people want an investigation into the actions of the police during these last. few weeks an independent investigation the government is refusing this this is also one part of why tensions i hate to think how people perceive that the police is out of control the police on down says people are out of control so we are seeing. the tensions

rising and i don't think this will be over the next few days or weeks. how much yes you have been covering these protests for those many weeks and months and we see the signs there we see the umbrella as we see the coordinated efforts by those protests what's it like to be in the middle of that chaos i mean these protesters seem to be incredibly organized especially when it comes to something like tear gas being fired. and yeah yeah yeah but still it's a bit a stressful situation when people are on the want that you have to follow. those waves of tear gas and run away from them but i was impressed of course by the civility of this movement in the beginning now parts of them are getting more radical i'm already treaties violence themselves but still these protesters are extremely organized and many of these protests have been really the most governments especially in the beginning these big protests when millions of people

marched and did not leave and leave it to i think those governments would be happy to have such a population. that yes you spoke of.
