this is not the kind of freedom that we find how did we become a gateway to islamist terror. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. in the sights of i guess starts october 24th on t.w. . bombing . it was unexpected but i think people have learned to x that the unexpected during these protests.

as they are streaming out the interest. from. the top michael ha ha i pod that last week was. i think the. i pod i laughed. the

whole. double post that i managed by hong kong. is that this should be too bad. so you can just i don't. and that you know beijing is slowly encroaching on the freedoms of hong kong. and as 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 rio 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 they feel is you know speaking out against terror a team so no one really trusts the legal system in charge of. the

protests really like a path where the 1000000 person right. and then and the government decided to go ahead with discussing that they were back her task on june 12th i believe and that land the 1st rounds of tear gas are fired on protesters throughout all these protests. the police didn't do a great job as professionally trained our force they should have and name. were and they use their force. the police force battery and reason. they used the necessary is the

question a gaze at the courthouse that was. my . hope that a smoke in the background that's takeouts. you don't you get that in your eyes and i can already feel it in mine. i think that you know it really was an accidental discovery i was just going through a scary sight seeing i did this protest well if i just walked right through this protest. here folks they also prefer that car say god. god i was i people are throwing

down reinforcements umbrellas you guys you want to come and i think they have to go mosques and kabul so everybody. was and these are the our brothers reinforcements i mean cost forward in a very organized manner. i thought. i was 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 that if my own safety my girlfriend

safety the safety of the protest was he was the right number they're going to get out of it i but i still got through it that i was i. i i. i i i i 7 i yeah i got. you know the west 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.

was. the i. i. i was into it has to get out in front of the legislative console to try to. stop our. legislative process i i i think that. i.

we go hot so you cannot blame every protester who used more radical rape to response. but i thought the month response. from hong kong legislature plans folks they got into pockets 1st elected by every

hong kong people dislike them up by the professionals at the company saw at the cafe and. have no need to listen to the all call people. gradually over the last few months to see if the morals of expected to be on the still so there are 5 major demands the 1st time is of course to which are out there actually. there is also the demand to release all arrested protesters they want the designation of rights to be removed and both the government and the police have called their protest france. they want an independent inquiry into place kind act and i mean the biggest most ambitious demand in my opinion is universal suffrage. all.

any time you want to protest sort of felt this sort of tension things might escalate and it kind of felt things could how can i be spared just anytime soon. so i was stood on the main road with the last of the protestors i can 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 not you know you know i guess most of. the policing fighting to get like about good 3 hours to fluoride right so so hang in there was that it was things interesting in your life so i just i kind of go and look at no. you know one of the police charged one of the protesters stop running so what if a self-appointed gas. is going through me i want to break. only one road was my fault i was simply strange how did i end up so so close to.

the. was and i was like a moment where i felt that i run a lot. more than usual but other people. that. i saw a lot in the opposite direction. and with all of this sort of axle being zapped out my lungs i start the ticket i mean take ask me to just let me have your life as it does it. takes you a lot. i followed some of the protesters were fleeing down the side streets of shouting war at 1st. but as i went down the end of one side street i was met some wall of police it was

a fun experience yes. but very long 3 extremely lucky in fact spots it's a residential building or some protestors showing inside a security guard post here and doesn't look like. it was a complete and also really to be able to breathe and get oxygen back into my love. for. the e.u. to meet the you want to be the you know the last thing you believe you're doing do you mean do. you believe. over the past 3 months we saw. the protesters has been largely peaceful and hong kong people have famous for organizing peaceful

protests. he'd. be the city you know the protesters are actually very very kind towards bystanders you know because we're going to protest. when a bunch of these protests we see lots of people. people from your generation garments in the shops and on public transport and the bosses waving and giving the school to these young projects to. take so it's just what he's going to mexico i was like to think you should mention the recent shows because.

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. when it's raining you can actually count on someone offering you an umbrella or a rain jacket there is one time i start raining i realize i didn't have anything to protect me or my camera and i just walked around knowing that someone would offer me something eventually and they did. there's been all sorts of types of protesters you know sand sit ins there's been a hand holding protests. i cause.

i know. i. and there's also things like the lenin wows which are spontaneous and permanent place is in poland where people are posting post it notes or poster it was to express how they feel and their demands and those are words that peaceful wage protests and they're all over town. the police brutality the priests just talking so crude so they talk about it so the 4 of them on. the approaches one cool like the government lawyer so it's many different messages it's just a way for people to express their feelings about approaches. there's a lot of different ways people are expressing their opinions and wanting to have

their voices heard. questions 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 with 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 the more memorable times was for example when they managed to get all their flights canceled for the rest the day if they all aircraft i thank god that was could be to sit in protests and the purpose was to show and educate the arriving passengers what was happening caribbean home cause i was in the way they did that was space around to call just for their materials their signs i was.

people just gave up and go right through all to trying to explain to to risk or any by the arriving home call all walk. was. was. i was. so i came back while they're having airport hotel i and it was very peaceful was good will. the. god. i. think.

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 ought not to disrupt and shut down the operations there was so many people have yet to come so all flights for the rest of the day. the same thing happened again the next day on tuesday flights were also canceled.

within the air or it contained environment no one expected by you know a lot of journalists including myself and the bats did break out we did have our gear on ourselves we had them in the press room in the airport we were ready for. so i'm back at the airport and i have been quite quickly exe and in a place is kind of shot out of nowhere there after their party came out and things were going to head in from there so it was unexpected but i think people have trying to extract the unexpected during these protests. was. in year part. demonstration turned up to when some travelers were

trapped or even. treated badly by the protesters this is better than it need not justifiable from embassies perspective. surely and less than double because what happened before was a big clash between the hong kong police and the protesters a round loss of anger among the protesters no one really wants 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. well i understand their frustrations on the stand around of course there's no justification for marantz on fire protesters but the same time i think it's gotten this far because of how the police have managed situation and a big big come to us violence because of years the government ignoring

what hong kong people wanted. what's different about these protests is that it's a leaderless movement it's not a coalition between many different groups should be called to be waterloo. this strategy comes in the form of flash mob protests these protests radically change locations 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 disseminated as well as telegraph protesters also use hong kong reddit style for. its k.g.b. to organize protests. during protests when internet signal is patching attendees it use apple's edge of function to share information. 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 shared during demonstrations which he saw what a subway station is closed. more of those a police presence out of station so social media is kind of at the heart of the protests i would say i think it would be a different protest if it weren't for social media. and certainly not an equal society but for many they're doing pretty well and if you're doing pretty well and you're comfortable you probably didn't see the problem

and all you see now is balance and petrol bombs and bricks theme throughout and please answer 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 fear of being extradited back to china becomes a safe haven for them so i sort of see the argument. there are a lot of we listen to the government well on one hand and that's the shape some of the arguments for example. and this tradition we must arm is. a correct way to hail to governments to extradite our criminals or suspects but there. has to be in compliance with international human

rights laws and standards. are. nuns to formal office show withdrawal all extradition which is the number one demand and which is a demand that kicked up these protests in the 1st place but i. will 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 is i mean demand not one last she's given one.

but i doubt it will have such a big impact because it really is too little to lay. socialism on the floor and. that's part of the. you know some people might disagree me. to an extent has actually forced the government acts. we were told it was probably down to the parts because of the chaos in the streets especially for us that's a thing to you know give in to one of the morons.

the brits did because they had a big celebration in beijing they didn't one come back it's the sort of person we're going to now sit in the last stage of the actual then something comes on the perch they start off almost like a festival. they will mostly after showing 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 were still here. and then the situation. sort of came to a head in the evening commute time to the news about the princess to be shot. or about was the big turning point the night that is when bianca reached

a new level i'm at. so it's a very scary amount of power that the government has like that and it's especially opened a pandora's box. you know these protests started over the extradition deal which is you know seen as something that was. it was giving the government too much power it was allowing them to like you know arrest people and take them over to china but now she's in that to this. which is basically it was just because she's not so much power to do whatever she calls the protests.

the protests will definitely go online for at least a couple of months i would say. and i can see. why the protests would die down if there is no concession on a part of the government so i hope that. peace again 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 passed my mom my. last.
