correspondent charlotte shelf impale who is in hong kong for us charlotte tell us what is happening right now way you are. and you know it's been another extremely violent evening this evening police and protesters for hours were really playing a cats and mouse game in this area that we're in at the moment protesters would gather police then would move in with water cannon tear gas the protesters would be dispersed and then they'd quickly congregate again somewhere else earlier this evening though we did see what appeared to be the final move by police we saw masses of police officers running towards the protesters that were gathered just near here sending those protesters scattering it looked like a couple of those protesters were detained though it's difficult to confirm that at the moment but it really has been striking today just how much tear gas and water cannon have been used by police officers of course the protesters as well have been

taking part in some of the violence we've seen protesters throwing molotov cocktails towards the police a number of them have been banned rising buildings that have links to mainland china but there has been an immense amount of tear gas and water cannon on the streets today clearing the protesters in fact a mosque was targeted by that water cannon it was hit by blue dye which is so often seen in the water cannon that's being used by police at the moment police have issued a statement saying it was unintended that the mosque was hit but that really is something that has upset a lot of people here today ok so clearly a very tense atmosphere charlotte but as you were saying the police seem particularly jumpy they're clearly responding responding with force when one of your own experience has been one of what have you been seeing. well tensions have been building op over the last 20 weekends now that we've seen these protesters police and protesters ally you can really feel the tension

building we have an experience here on this evening as we were trying to leave the area off the police it performed that clearance operation my producer and i was separated briefly when i was a few paces behind them we tried to follow them go down the same side street police stopped me saying i had to get back the other way my producer came forward and said that we were together and could i follow her and then a police officer started shouting in our face he pushed and then we were all shoved multiple times away from the scene we were trying to to leave as it happened but that didn't stop them pushing as some people who were around us saying where we go because we have police officers on either side that is just an example of some of the situations that can arise here. local media have been reporting situations like this repeatedly for the last few weeks but when you walk or talk in the middle of these clashes when you are caught in these very tense situations that go on for
