a legislation in congress called the hong kong human rights and democracy act. now this was introduced back in 2017 by marco rubio and some other congressmen. and basically, what it does is establish punitive actions for members of the beijing government in case they try to suppress human rights or democracy in hong kong it also could threaten to sort of delist hong kong from its special arrangement as far as the united states sees it, its separate commercial treaty with the united states. so it would sort of separate those two. now it's extraordinary to see this kind of violence still going on, because this is now the third month to the day since the first large scale rally on june 9th and so far, even though carrie lam, the chief executive made a major concession last week, withdrawis ethradition bill that started the whole protests, they seem to be going strong francis? >> matt bradley for us, matt, thank you. in the bahamas, hurricane dorian may be long gone, but the
