gatherings is the rare sign of descent and china with crowds rallying and beijing, shanghai, and even outside chinese embassies around the world after a weekend of public unrest and anger, more protests at china, 0 cove id policy. but this is not beijing or shanghai. this small gathering is taking place in hong kong business district at its heart, a vidual to remember those who lost their lives in a building fire last week. in the city of a rom, she 10 deaths. it's alleged that were caused by china st cove. it matches and it have sparked this way, but demonstrations, just like in cities across the chinese mainland. here they hold up blank sheets of paper, now a symbol of descent in his growing movements, all under the watchful eyes of the authorities. he getting the situation in china has gotten worse and worse over the past few years. people's basic demands are

ignored. we still where car towed, which is want to live like humans school. so what that's young a young, legal thinking. what is the hung homes have been suffering from this regime for so many years? therefore we share the same feelings. you know what i mean that we a mainland chinese are facing the same public earlier? yeah, i think it matters to hong kong like, and even the world like i don't want to see on a hong kong university campus. they sing a hits from the musical, les miserables, an unofficial anthem of previous anti government protest here in hong kong, is now part of this uprising that spreading across the world. like here in tokyo, outside the chinese embassy. and in london where concerns over beijing's crack down on protesters has sparks this response from the u. k. foreign secretary. well, protest against chinese government all rare. and when they do happen,

i think the world should take notice by think the chinese government should take matters. it's clear that the chinese people themselves are deeply unhappy with what is going on about the restrictions imposed upon them by the chinese government. china's foreign minister has defended the country's cobra to restrictions, but on the streets, tensions are running high. as a heavy police presence in cities including shanghai, with authorities, quick to make arrests, they do not want to repeat what happens over the weekend. but the world is now watching a journalist for being such, my choices are from bridging. now probably a few images of protests have made it out of china the last 24 hours, other than ministrations dying down, are we looking at a chinese suppression campaign of these images where the protest on pos right now, but i mean, that's because of a really state lead repression campaign. and so he and beijing, we have

a high presence of police, not only of the protest site in the near the embassy area, but also there were rumors yesterday night that you know, the protestants would gather in and never district in the north west. and as soon as the 1st correspondence arrived, there were lots of police both in plain clothes and in uniform. and every one who just, you know, stood by or looked curious, was immediately approached by policemen. so it's literally a possible together in that environment. and in shanghai, the police even went one step further. they were stopping a lot of pass a buys and checked their phones and deleted critical photos, and also check whether they would use instagram or twitter foreign apps. and also asked them to delete those apps. now, some cove, it rules have been eased since these protests began. is that a sign that china is yielding to some demands of the demonstrators? a small sign and actually today a further, you know,

adjustments and openings of the a corporate policy are expected. esther state council announced a press conference, but i'm expecting yes, small steps towards, you know, changing and adjusting the theory, cobra policy that meets some of the demands of the protesters, but i'm emphasizing here only some demands. now these protest only about covered restrictions or is that deeper descent? yeah, i think really it's a diverse crowd that went to those protests for some, it's really just, you know, getting out of locked down in stopping those, you know, i'm predictable and unscientific locked downs. other say those, those 0 cobra policy is a manifestation of the lack of rule of law that you know, we have in china and they are demanding more legal protection. and then there are also quite a significant crowd to demand political change, who basically is not happy with the leadership and specifically with the shooting pink. so there's not really a contents of what, how farther demonstration will go. but it's really

a mixed bag. so just so to speak. so how much of the threat are these demonstrations then a for she didn't things grip on power. but at this point, i would say it's not a very severe threat, because as you could see just yesterday, the state has so much, no resources to mobilize, and so many tools of repression and of course intimidation, there's a lot of fear going on also that you know the state might use big data to search for who organized to protest and you can track them down and of course and put them into prison. and then also, i think the critical mass has not been reach. so right now most of the protesters actually young people are students. and in general, young people, if, for example, blue collar workers would also join in those protests, then the picture would be quite different. but i would say it's not a grey for it to see things grip on power. far. been there for us. thank you very much for that. i've looked at some of the other stories making headlines today.
