9:02 pm
took to the streets of hong kong again this time to demonstrate against the police's use of tear gas. i think we need to have a protest issues so that we are strongly against these kinds of without it you know we need them to risk respond to our. response to demands leading to mocker see activists joshua long told d. w. the protests have now gone beyond opposition to the controversial extradition bill that sparked them now is the summer off this content to a beijing and hong kong government last week we experienced pro beijing gangs and mobs attack ordinary citizen yesterday we experienced riot police beaten on he's fro protester in sight railway station now with the probation gangs of polish for serving the interest of beijing they are just. hoping to silence the voice of hong kong people. the demonstrations began peacefully with anger against the police
9:03 pm
only adding to the litany of complaints against hong kong's government. people oh. i really i'm happy with what has been happening in the last week there are unhappy with the with the police response they i think they want an investigation and action now i can smell the stick us. with author a he's unwilling to show restraint protesters now fear that hong kong's freedoms are at stake as beijing exerts ever more influence over the territory but protestors are unbound. calls for democracy will never stop we will continue our fight a fight that looks set to continue with neither side willing to back down. now for more on this i'm joined now by date of the report and cherry chanche cherry we've been seeing an increasing degree of violence up from both sides in these protests both from the police and also more radicalization from protest as why do
9:04 pm
you see this going yes we can see at the. tension between the police and the protesters history the rice saying now the protesters almost see the police as their enemy so you can see that the police is using way more falls for example. rubber bullets is like unarmed. in every demonstration in hong kong but on the protests you also see they're gearing up they become more defensive and sometimes they would even throw things at the police just the things that they pick up on the ground and sometimes they would even pick up the tear gas that's fired by the police and throw them back at the police so you can really see that the confrontation this getting ready aggressor here ramping up quite a bit so one of the key figures joshua wang one of the protest key figures told d.w. today that the calls for democracy will never stop what exactly is the movement's end game here so we can see that now the protests is way more than just.
9:05 pm
now they have the protesters have way more demands for example they want the resignation of the chief executive kerry they also want an independent inquiry into the use of force by the police and ultimately like what joshua long said they really asked for food democracy universal suffrage and then what about beijing i mean i'm sure beijing is not liking this at all how long do you think it's going to be until the chinese government comes in and says we're going to take a more active role in this actually they. all be in hong kong they just said they will need to press tomorrow to respond to all these protests in the past 2 months it is expected that beijing will take a really tough stance against these protests they were framed as very violent and unlawful demonstrations but then. a lot of people in hong kong also hear rumors that if the protesters still don't stop in the coming future it is very
9:06 pm
likely that the beijing would even send me to hong kong to stop these. people from also. as a society are joining in these protests right yeah actually just today we hear that . government workers they would launch a rally next week to voice their opinion to the government basically they're false and so we can't even hear a very strong voice from inside the government so this is really significant terry temp thanks so much for coming in and setting that for us let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now iran has condemned the u.k.'s plans for europe led naval mission in the persian gulf calling it a hostile message tensions between the 2 countries have been high since british forces captured an iranian ship suspected of smuggling oil to syria the royal navy since deployed a warship to the gulf to ensure the safe passage of british vessels. rusher is
