her. until now the sorry guy my city has. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. philippines in the sights of us starts oct 24th on t.w. . mom. it was unexpected but i think people have learned to expect the unexpected during these protests. to.

go straight to top the. way they talk like a hot. lock that i am up that. there's. i think that. i i. the whole

world starts us from the balls that our man on. 80. 3. i. was losing his identity. and that you know beijing is slowly encroaching on the freedoms of one called a. magnet and that's we all know that mainland china doesn't have a very sound legal system but a little bit of course that don't really function really schools are just like show trials and the other fear is that china might use this as an excuse to try to grab . the rest of the one day they feel is you know speaking out against terror a gene so no one really trusts the legal system in charge of. cause the

protests really kicked ass when the 1000000 person right. and then when the government decided to go ahead with discussing that they were back her task on june 12th i believe and that planned the 1st rounds of tear gas or fired on protesters throughout all these protests. the police didn't do a great job as professionally trained. force they should have and any. were and they use their force. the police was very and reasonable they used the necessary this

question a falls against the protesters to. my . heart that the smoke in the background that's tear gas. you don't get that in your eyes and i can already feel in mine. think that you know it really was an accidental discovery i was just going to go sightseeing i did this protest oh if i just walked right through this protest . i think their homes their yards pretty. hot say god. god i have was i people throwing down

reinforcements umbrellas you guys you want to come and they had to get mosques and goggles to everybody i was in and these are the our brothers reinforcements i mean cost forward in a very organized manner. i thought ok but i still have in from the to gas the smoke everywhere this is an absolute madness was it was a moment of panic it was a moment of carnage my mind was. here i was always in this moment of adrenaline i well i was always very aware of my surroundings i. i saw lots of these which really made me worry nicely i would say the my girlfriend

safety the safety of the greats was he was the right number there for me to get out of it i was to get through it that was i. i. think that was i i yeah i got. you know the web some actions i saw that i didn't agree with as you can probably see in my video however there's 2 sides to every story i just wanted to document what i saw.

the. club i. i. but i'm since i will pass this in front of the legislative council to try to. stop our. legislative process i i i think that. i. her.

uncle hot we go hot so you cannot blame every protester who used more radical rape to response. but i thought the monks response. to hong kong legislature plans folks into pockets 1st like that every hong kong

people just like them liked up by the profession knows that the company saw the cafe and. have no need to listen to the all call people. gradually over the course talking amongst themselves to mars have expanded to new york and still so there are 5 major demands the 1st time is of course to ensure are there actually. there is also the demand to release all arrested protesters they want the designation of rights to be removed both the government and the police have called their protest france. they want an independent inquiry into police contact and finally the biggest most and vicious demand in my opinion is universal suffrage. all.

let me tell you it's a protest so of this sort of tension things might escalate and it kind of felt things could how can i be protest anytime soon. so i was stood on the main road of the last of the protest as i could see that these people know me well prepared almost like a battle you could say and here i was turning up with like nothing basically no protection no i'm asking no no i guess my side of. the police is in fighting so i guess like about good 3 hours before i'd write so it was still hanging in there we said it was things we were staying in your life the most so i could go and look at notes. you know one of the police try out one of the protests to stop throwing stuff what if they stop once a gas. is going through me i want to break. only one

road which i'm like well i was sick of it strange how did i end up so so close to. god. and there's like a moment washout should i run a lot. more. money for a whole lot of people. after . all i said in the opposite direction. and with all the sort of axle being zapped out my lungs i start to kind of. take us maybe just maybe have your life as it does it. takes a lot. i followed some of the protesters were fleeing down the side streets of showing why i could. but as i went down the end of one side street also met a wall of police also firing tear gas. but

very likely extremely lucky in fact i spotted a residential building of some protestors shows ring inside the security guard was me. and goes i would like. it was a complete and utter relief to be able to breathe and get oxygen back into my love . for me would be illegal the only thing the want you to do. over the past 3 months we saw. the protesters has been largely

peaceful and hong kong people have a muscle organizing peaceful protests. decency the protesters are actually very very kind towards bystanders you know because we're going to protest. when a bunch of these protests i we see lots of people. people from your generation damaged in the shops and on public transport and the bosses waving and giving the school to these young protesters. it's just what he's trying to match a columnist i see which the mainstream media isn't showing that.

it's quite moving really to see so much solidarity to see so many people out on the streets all expressing the same things and doing so peacefully and safely. and you know when it's raining you can actually count on someone offering you an umbrella or a rain jacket there is one time i started raining i realised i didn't have anything to protect me or my camera and i just walked around knowing that someone would offer me something eventually they did. there's been all sorts of types of protesters just sat around sit ins there's been a hand holding protest. i cause.

i know. i do. and there's also things like the lenin wows which are spontaneous and permanent place is and were people are posting post it notes or posters are to express how they feel and their demands and those are words that we protest and they're all over now. to. talk about. the police brutality they took out a piece just for being so crude so they talk about it so the 4 of them on star so. cool like you know you're going to lie so it's many different messages it's just a way for people to express their feelings about a protest. there's a lot of different ways people are expressing their opinions and fighting to have

their voices heard. questers differing opinions on what methods really work. these protests there's so much that happens that shocking and something happens every week you know it's a lake and i've had this conversation and other journalists will talk about something after that time when this happened that would be like that was yesterday because the days are so long and so much happened so i think some of them are memorable time so as for example when they managed to get all their flights canceled for the rest the day at their healthcare quest i thank god that was called the 6 encroachments and the purpose was to show and educate the riving passengers what was happening the caribbean home cause i was the way they did that was based around the forest with all the materials the signs was.

people just gave you a rifle or 2 trying to explain to to risk all and the by the arriving home on our all walk. was. was. i was. so i came back while they were having airport hotel i and it was very peaceful i was glued. the. god. i.

love. the brutal methods employed by the police and the hong kong people consequently the next day the protestors decided to extend the demonstration. however the aim this time was not just to sit in the. lots of the struct and shut down operations there was so many people have yet to come so all flights for the rest of the day. have the. same thing happened again the next day on tuesday flights were also canceled for.

being within the airport and contained environment no one expected by you know a lot of journalists including myself and a box did break out we did have our gear on ourselves we had them in the press room in the airport that we were ready for. hosler back at the airport and i have been quite quickly exe and in a place is kind of shot out of nowhere they are out of their party came out and things were going to hit and from their cell it was unexpected but i think people have trying to relax that the unexpected during these protests. was. in year part. the demonstration turned up the when some travelers were

trapped or even. treated badly by the protesters this is better than it need not justifiable from and as these perspective. these surely and less than double because what happened before was a big clash between the hong kong police and the protesters around lots of anger among the court asked that no one really want to see violence we don't want it to happen but at the same time i sort of understand why that some of these people do it. now i understand their frustrations on the stand around of course there's no justification for violence on entire protesters but the same time i think it's gotten this far because of how the police have managed situation and i think we've come to this violence because of years the government ignoring what hong kong

people want to. thank what's different about these protests is that it's a leaderless movement it's like a coalition between many different groups. because of the b. water. this strategy comes in the form of flash mob protests these protests radically change locations or in the course of a day and you often get different groups splitting to go to other areas of hong kong this captures the police off guard and stretches that manpower. now the key to these flash more protests is the telegram app. there are several protest chat groups on this messaging app some of which contain tens of thousands of protesters this allows for information on the next destination of the protests

to be quickly the 7th as well as telegram protesters also used a homecoming reddit style for code. to organize protests. during protests when internet signal dispatching attendees that use apple's edge of function to share information. protest tito's have also been seen on the tender they have also been advertised as a more than go about maps of the m.c.r. subway system during demonstrations so what subway stations closed. or if there's a police presence at the station themselves a media is kind of at the heart of the protests i would say i think it would be a completely different protest if it weren't for social media. it's certainly not an equal society but many there are doing pretty well and if you're doing pretty well and you're comfortable you probably didn't see the problem

and now you see now it's balanced and patch of arms and bricks being thrown around and police officer is getting hurt so i do understand why they feel that. is often a place or sometimes can be the place where criminals can try to sleaze and without any fairstein extradited back to china becomes a safe haven for them so i sort of see the argument to up. there are a lot of reasons to support the government where on one hand are we and us to share some of the arguments for example. and this that isn't are we much. is. a correct way to go to governments to x. that they are criminals or suspects but that. has to be in compliance with international human rights laws and standards.

finally stepped out to end months the formal off the show withdrawal of the extradition which is the number one demand and which is a demand that kicked out these protests in the 1st place but as a lot of your point out it's been 3 months since the protests began and in that time i think that happens now a lot of damage has been done. and i think that tradition bill while still a demand is no longer the main concern i mean the most common chant of the protests i mean demand not one class she's given and what.

i doubt it will have such a big impact because it really is too little too late. i don't believe in my dislike of. this part of the attempt to. you know some people might disagree me. to the extent it has actually forced the government to act we were told it was probably down to the parts because the chaos in the streets especially was that. you know given to one of the more.

brits did you say they had a big celebration in beijing they didn't want homecoming so bad it's the sort of person we're going to get our state and the world stage for the actual event itself in hong kong the protests started off almost like a festival. they would last together showing their solidarity for these 5 demands and against the government but the situation quickly it escalated around 4 o'clock when the police fired tear gas was families and kids still here. in the situation. sort of caves ahead in the evening when we started the news about the protester being shot. down was the big turning point that night that is when the anger reached

a new level i'm at. god i i i os. i os. so it's a very scary amount of power to come across like that and it's essentially opened a pandora's box. you know these protests started over the extradition which is you know seen as something that was. just giving the government too much power it was allowing them to like you know arrest people in hong kong perhaps take them up to china but now she's a natural. which is basically it was because you know that so much time. do you want to see if they want to cause a protest. the protests will definitely go online

for at least a couple of months i would say. i can see. why the protests will die down if there is no concession by the government so i hope that. and i hope this 80 can find a compromise where everyone's somewhat happy and i hope the government and the police can regain the public's trust the. past behind mom my.
