you see. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. starts october 24th on d.w. . this is. a show coming up does the road to peace in hong kong pass through its highest office. is hong kong. is it time she represented the people of hong kong instead of hong kong tells us. selfie shutdown why police are getting tough on photo fanatics. i'm not.

i'm british welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us for 4 months now the streets of hong kong have regularly looked like this battle zones that c.b.p. to the rest and injuries and there doesn't appear to be a visible way out of the crisis but what if its chief executive could hold the key a member of parliament the legislative council thinks so michael t.m. is seen as a poor stablished voice in hong kong and he's also a member of. parliament the national people's congress he spoke to correspondent in hong kong i think and do you think that the government can find a way out of this crisis yes from day one. because what they may draw d. of the public peaceful demonstrators and the right eco's all they want is to settle the score and their perceived. grievances against

the police and nobody is trust nobody is trusting either side they don't believe in the complaint against police commission investigation so everybody is crying for a church lack commission on inquiry which in any other city in the world we've always eventually have a judge coming in to look at police not the police themselves this is one thing that kerim consistently refused to do and the escalating violence has make that you mine so much more imminent and important you are a member of the national people's congress in beijing well connected there. is it really kerry lamb who's calling the shots or is it beijing. my personal view at this point is that it's out of control but she can't fight

what she can't go down to her niece and please there are many things you can do shirred job is to negotiate with the central government on behalf of wrong on people if she agrees but i don't know whether she agrees ok obviously the final say on any of these this demands meeting them rush with a jane for example the final withdrawal of the bill clearly is something that needs to be. given consent by beijing that's right took so long but isn't that the problem that many hong kong must have with this government and with the system you mean a central government no central government it's just a group of people they may have. perceptions they may have they can see positions but being the chief executive on kong it's her job to convey to the central government what hong kong people want right humans can be

persuaded can be influenced so that's why the public. have a lot of expectation that carry them can carry that message to beijing now we don't know what actually did and we don't know how hot line the central government is in refusing it all we know is that one day one none of the demands are possible ok so take that the director of the liaison office mr tung in some junk in august none of the demands are possible now if that's the case how come a month later withdrawal happened. so the problem is if one demand can be man why can't the others so this is what i think is feeling the.

wild and ready goes to continue charging and the population behind and supporting them are probably also assuming that this government is not going to listen to peaceful demonstration and these that shows that if you have straight the violence they will at least give you something so that is a pretty undesirable deception i guess the point i'm trying to make is on june 9th ok if you can rewind the clock we close a 1000000 people in the street peacefully at that time there's no violence if something can be. done at that time you would stand a completely different signal to don't come people not to say no is if you can't get what you want you're not fighting hard enough. michael you joined politics bit more than 10 years ago as a member of the pro establishment camp at that time and polls 75 percent of hong

kong was said they had faith in one country 2 systems today more than 60 percent are saying they have no faith in one country 2 systems haven't you guys messed this up from the pro establishment camp probably we all messed it up. central government that is are not us there is a our government the poor establishment camp and also also the opposition can they turn down the constitution reform in 2015 my hand is so close to the constitutional reform package offered by beijing where hong kong people can elect their own chief executive we mr required special buy for votes. those 4 votes are all opposition camp books

ok originally the deal was sealed and then de renegade ok so if you ask me who should be most responsible for hong kong not having the democratic development that people expect i have to say is opposition party not the central government my content thank you. so isn't really the opposition party's fault let's ask joins on that from the global public policy institute and he's been following developments in hong kong over the past many months and in fact recently did don from seoul welcome pro-democratic parties in hong kong to blame for the lack of democracy in the chinese did it or 1st of all think respectfully for the with michael in this a few things he said holds true but not everything i wouldn't say it's the democrat program democratic parties that are solely at fault i think what they did fight for was what they perceived was guaranteed to them which was initially universal

suffrage short of that that the not happen what was offered to them was a pre-selection of candidates by probe aging party and based on that people could vote for their chief executive and that is not seen by pro-democratic. party people as as what was guaranteed to them is also worth pointing out that my concern is your view seen as a protest of bush lawmaker in hong kong but let's just look at something else you talked about he talked about essentially almost signaling of the ball could be in court if she can fight for it if you can go down on her knees and beat for doesn't really making the case for kerry mom so what she can make the case for the people of hong kong could carry members we get in the favor to hong kong people it is her job to represent the people of hong kong no doubt she is the chief executive it is for mandate to represent what is in hong kong's best interest people's best interest but you have to ask yourself one question though who does she answer to so

she may be able to carry the message caroline can carry it to beijing but she still has to answer to her superiors so to speak and those are the folks that sit in beijing are the decision makers in beijing and ultimately she takes her cue from them so it's very convenient to say she can represent she can go on her knees and beg and plead but ultimately she has to also carry out the mandate which is given to her from. china so it's a bit of a cop out if you ask me so what is the way out takes orders from beijing she needs to on so to them protest is continuing with the protests in the streets a move you also have seen because you are in the desert 3 months along a goal what is the way out more protests a hardening of stances on both sides that's the $1000000.00 question is yes me and that's what everyone is thinking about the one thing is certain. china should also see the chinese government should also see that as it is in their best interest to follow through with one country 2 systems agreement which was signed between china

and the united kingdom now what we're seeing at the moment is the chinese government interpret that agreement as they see fit and if you ask me personally i don't think that is the way out there is they agree meant that until 2047 hong kong is a one country 2 systems place with a special group what we see now is that it's becoming more one country 2 nationalisms hong kong people hardening their stance saying we are hong kong hers and mainland is chinese and this is partly to do with their dissatisfaction that this agreement isn't respected right enough to live there for the time being drilled on to thank so much for coming in thank you. it's the end of the line for this instagram a hot spot in vietnam's capital city how annoyed authorities have become desperate to access to everywhere straddling and train line saying the throngs of picture take us up with the lives of proust for the perfect snap.
