hi shallots at tell us what is the situation right now where you are. and yeah hi it's been a very peaceful day so far up until about an hour ago when we saw a number of protesters gathered outside a police station not very far from where we stood now we then saw riot police on the streets clearing away those protesters no tear gas deployed so far this is in that sense different from previous evening protests that we've been to instead they just ran at the protesters sending them fleeing now what we did see just behind us and here is that as police were trying to drive through this area which was completely closed off just a short time ago protesters who were just above on some balconies overlooking this road did start throwing trash cans and various other items down at the police it

did get quiet harry once again on the street his night now in terms of how these protests generally unfold it is still quite early evening here there are several hours ahead where we could see this deteriorate into is a further clashes ok now that has been proved china protests as well how big have they been and who's taking part. that's right yes i know the other side of the city to the pro-democracy protests that we attended earlier on today thousands of people supporting the beijing government and police also took to the streets now organizers suggested that up to hoffa 1000000 people without other estimates that we've seen suggested the figures were nowhere near that number but what this does show is the polarization of hong kong at the moment those pro beijing protesters were calling for an end to the violence that we've seen on the streets over the last week of hong kong and the

restoration of your an order now we've been talking to a number of the protesters in recent weeks they themselves the pro-democracy protesters are aware that the violence has escalated particularly this week they want to try and maintain calm themselves at the moment take a listen to some of the people that we spoke to who are trying different ways of protesting other than taking to the streets. it's a startling visual reminder of the power of paper and pen. this clashes this week left many concerns that message is being eclipsed by violence. but step away from the protest front lines of the scale of peaceful to send becomes clear. this train station now an ever growing testimony to the resilience of activists and the people power that fuels them. when you walk through this tunnel the sheer number of messages papering these rules is really overwhelming no toll to note these

protesters to carry on what the protest movement now needs to work out is how to maintain the momentum and this level of support over the coming weeks. just 15 years old this young activist is choosing post at night and priest is as her new weapon of protest. once on the front lines of the demonstrations herself she now spends up to 8 hours a day here holding her own private vigil promoting her pro-democracy message i would like to do the thing there and i think it is right i think it is very important in this time to. let the government know what we march for and. to tell you we will never give up all. across the city a very different kind of protest calls have been put out for people to withdraw all their money from bank accounts

a peaceful but perhaps ambitious plan designed to put pressure on authorities to meet the demands of people have to try many different way choose try to foster home can government to restore the extradition we just want to try every meet i f e possible mean to stop the b. i the massive street protests like this also planned over the coming days and weeks some may end in clashes but this movement has been defined by its inventiveness the protesters ability to evolve the strategy to maintain momentum and public support. and alongside the demonstrations there will be those who keep finding new ways. making their voices heard. all right let's go back now to. tell who's in hong kong for some real determination obviously by the young activists in your report there and yet state chinese state media in an editorial

this week stated that if home kong cannot restore the rule of law on its own it is quote imperative for the central government to take direct action how will people interpret saying statements like that. beyond seeing hardening of the rhetoric coming out to beijing and particularly over the last week in fact at one point. the protesters here were likened to terrorists which really did a lot of the people who were taking to these to the streets a river of course reject that outright they consider themselves pro democracy protesters we've also alongside the hardening rhetoric seen military presence along the border people here of course questioning whether or not any of those courses will be deployed into hong kong generally though people think that that is still extremely unlikely they think that that would be politically and economically

damaging to beijing beijing has other methods of trying to keep this and this unrest under control what we're expecting to see is that police here say that they can keep this situation calm we're expecting perhaps them to employ some of the messes that we've seen in recent weeks to try and clear the streets tear gas for example measures that protesters here has said become increasingly violent and left a number of processes into it all right he. fell in hong kong thank you so much. all right let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a u.s. court has issued a warrant to seize the iranian oil tanker the grey swan the vessel had been detained in gibraltar on suspicion of violating a use sanctions by taking oil to syria on thursday gibraltar said it was free to go washington now says the ship and its oil should be impounded. indigenous
