8:08 am
is one of the 2020 did not write a hopeful who was very outspoken about the president's trump it was the format congress man from el paso texas and he even called the president white nationalists pointing to the fact that the president in the past called mexican sway peace that he called immigrants. and e-mails and all of that according to beto can cause and incite violence and hatred alexander thank you very much for that from. both the hong kong now that city has been brought to a near standstill by a general strike following another weekend of chaotic demonstrations pro-democracy protesters attempted to paralyze monday morning traffic activists succeeded in stopping many underground train services by blocking doors leading to scuffles with

8:11 am
them to pos freely in and out of the train stations this is part of a deliberate strategy to get from location to location as quickly as possible to not stay in one place for too long move on and start the next demonstration was flash mob style tactic is now the most powerful defense against an increasingly intolerant police force cause the police have trusted took time together when they go there was and then we can go to another place so maybe there is less police and we can do our things secondly we will try to save ourselves from being arrested so that's the main thing i think how do you 16. and how many different protest locations have you been see today to now it will be 5. a major tunnel is blocked for a 2nd night running. calls brought to a standstill but once again it doesn't last long. because the.
