7:07 pm
a compromise now with the protesters also saying ok this is a really terrible situation but if they make a step forward perhaps the government could consider also coming a step forward and this is this is the only way that this is going to be resolved through compromise at this point however we have seen from the chinese side though you know stronger rhetoric coming from them they now say that these protests are near terrorist acts what do you make of the potential chances that we can see this further defend into a more descent excuse me into a more violent situation you know well this is our huge fear as hong kong is and i can i have to say it's absolutely terrifying for a lot of people the sort of the i mean the militia on the streets i think that the rhetoric is frightening it's designed to be frightening that doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything it does mean something but one has to simply say we're not there yet everyone just stay calm and i think again both sides need to stop making compromises beijing is raising more and more red flags that's clear through the

7:09 pm
think they are prepared to do it if they feel they have to but i really really wish hope and pray that we don't get there and that compromise is the way forward and there i see the hong kong government as having a lot of work to do because they need to compromise as well these fundamental demands of the protesters were actually promised in the basic law i.e. greater voting rights constitutional changes towards more self governance the rights to control their own life and solve problems on the ground and then not being held to you know beijing and hong kong government keep pushing it away and away and kicking the can down the road there's a lot of compromise that could be reached there if the hong kong government was prepared to do that so much at stake here and we see the sense of resolve resolve on both sides really holding firm leave to their positions due to christian taught load journalist an expert on china and hong kong thank you thank you. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world and italian court has ruled that a migrant rescue ship with almost 150 people on board may enter the country's
