a facial recognition software by the chinese government and that's a nuisance for the authorities your problem is the identification of the suspects who. many of the answers such as criminal damage used raw years unlawful assembly wounding our people so many of them. will be able to avoid detection because of the amount i think must at midnight local time on friday a ban on facial masks took effect in hong kong along with other emergency regulations. we believe that the new law will create a deterrent effect against massed violent protesters and rioters and we assist the police in his law enforcement the protesters are so far unfazed by the new. car. 1 was the right thing.

to do you. think you know. was there it must. be going through such operating things. that the price of our. the anger among protesters has if anything only mounted the weekend is likely to see new clashes and more violence. so let's get more on this from the donors asheri chan who's been covering the protests welcome sheri processes as we saw in the report are clearly not happy about these new emergency measures right so there's a really huge anger in the society after the end of this law because this emergency law that the government is using is actually a color era emergency law it was established in 1922 and hasn't been yourself. more
