have never seen this before so i am surprised. >> okay, i think we can connect live with our andrew stevens there in hong kong who has been amid those demonstrators. andrew, we can see you in the crowd now. tell us what you're seeing around you. >> reporter: well, it's what you're seeing, 'well, i hope, thousands of umbrellas have just been opened. quite a few, just the last four or five minutes as you know, this is come to be known as the umbrella revolution. the umbrella being a symbol and also a shield that was used against pepper spray from the hong kong police on sunday night and the umbrella has since become a symbol of this movement in many ways. you can see people as thousands of people just opened their umbrellas just a few minutes ago just to show their solidarity for this protest. it is as you no doubt can see getting busier and busier here. tens of thousands of people have come to this site. this is the main protest site. it is a public holiday so we were expecting a big crowd. indeed, we have a big crowd and it is getting bigger by the hour. as you can see all around me, but on

andrew stevens is in hong kong. drew, every day, peaceful and polite, but it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. is that still happening and any sign that the government is going to respond to their demands? >> reporter: first of all, no sign that the government will respond to the demands, christine. it still remains exactly the same line from the government and also from beijing. this is an unlawful gathering. we will not listen to the people on the streets. despite the fact the crowds have been growing and growing. it has now about 4:30 in the afternoon here. the crowds are smaller than they were this time yesterday. again, you tend to see it swell in the evening hours. i wanted to show you quickly where i am. there are fewer people, but so much support still for the protesters here. these are free food and drink stations. this is just one of dozens around this protest site. as you move around here, you will see also it is not just about food and water, the police responded to one incursion a few days ago with gas

cnn's andrew stevens is live right in the middle of the protests. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, john. day four, yes, indeed, the crowd is now certainly the biggest size i've seen it. not surprising, it is a public holiday today. so a lot of people who were working the past few days have come down here to show their support, to show their solidarity on a very singular course which is unusual here in hong kong, a very singular course which is the pro-democracy movement. and it's a quite sobering sense of community down here. just how calm things are. how happy people are and how they're helping each other. a lot of them obviously students, they're sitting here, they're working, of course, on their social media sites. they're having lunch. behind me here, doing phone work. but they're all still here. and they know there's no movement whatsoever on the side of hong kong or beijing towards their demands. and they say, the protest leaders we've been speaking to earlier saying, it is up to hong kong, up to the leadership to make a move. i

cnn's andrew stevens is with us from the middle of all of these very polite protests. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, christine, this is exactly what beijing did not want to happen particularly on national day. tens of thousands of hong kong students, supporting people who have been here in the past three days, supporting them in this bid nor democratic change here in hong kong which would require -- hong kong leadership says this is not going to happen what i kept thinking repeatedly this is illegal. this is considered unlawful, therefore, we will not listen to them. the protesters, the protest leaders on the other hand say they will continue to stay here, they will continue to fight. there is no dialogue which strikes me as extraordinary, there is no dialogue between the hong kong government and the protest leaders that i'm aware of and we will try to track this down. one hong kong leader said it's up to the hong kong leadership to speak to the entire proud. as you say, it's a standoff, a peaceful standoff. good-natured standoff. eerybody is looking o

our andrew stevens is in hong kong. remarkable. her day of protests in the center of the financial hub. what is happening today, andrew? >> reporter: day six, christine. a lot fewer people, actually here on day six. that is the result that today is now negotiations opened up. we expect the negotiations begin tomorrow. it will not involve the chief executive. so many protesters calling on him to resign. it is his number who a more popular figure. the government is prepared for talks, but how much is it prepared to listen? the students face-to-face with the government in the negotiations say they are not backing away from their claims. we have a wide divide between the two. nonetheless, there are necess y negotiations where there were none 12 to 15 hours ago. you see behind me, you see the streets of hong kong. this is the main thoroughfare. this is ten lanes which go in and out of the financial district. as you can see there, plenty of people, but not nearly the same sort of numbers we have seen over the past four or five days. hasn'

let's get the latest from the ground now and connect with our andrew stevens who's been covering this for us. andrew, what have you seen? what are people detelling you n? how are things changing hour upon hour? >> reporter: the change really is in just the number of people to come every day to join the protesters. the contradiction on this occupy movement is they keep on saying, the protest leaders keep on saying they want to occupy peacefully. moving into a government building, confronting police, assuming the police are not going to want them to occupy the building, does not necessarily make a peaceful movement. where i am at the moment, if we look down this road, that is where the main bulk of the protesters gather each day. if you move slightly to the left, you'll see a university professor speaking to students and protesters. people are coming out, giving their opinions and basically letting the protest leaders speak. if you swing this way, this is the government building that was the scene of the attempt to push beyond that gate by activist leaders, by student leaders, to stage

so will this framework for talks ends the standoff on the streets in our andrew stevens has been on then hong kong. andrew, what's the latest? >> reporter: john, those talks are indeed expected to get underway in the next day or so. certainly at this stage, it is not clear whether it will be resolved through negotiation. publicly, neither the students nor the government are giving ground whatsoever. it is not a compromise at the moment. the students are asking for substantial change coming from the talks. the government is saying we are sticking where we are which is basically an unlawful gathering and we believe the process about the process about trying to get the new leaders in 2017 chosen is the right way to go. so at this stage, it is not clear if there is a way out. necessity go negotiations are welcomed. people are on the streets where i have been of the working class area, is increasing concern that people need to get back to work and they need to clear the streets to get on with doing their business. >> our andrew stevens on the streets of hong kong where people do seem to be g

let's turn to our andrew stevens, he's in hong kong. he has information on this. andrew, these new restrictions have not been without their critics, it has to be said. let's look at that, but first we need to go through what the restrictions are exactly. and how they're intending on protecting their citizens. >> fundamentally, they are closing the borders of australia to people in the ebola-affected areas, the hardest hit ones, sierra leone, liberia, guinea. anyone applying for a visa from those countries will be denied. now, if you already have a permanent visa to visit australia or to live in australia from one of those countries, you will have to go into a 21-day quarantine period before you travel to australia, just to make sure. so it's quite a dramatic step to close the borders for anyone wanting to get out of west africa, who doesn't have the rec zit visa so far. certainly it's been criticized, the immigration spokesman for the australian green party calls it shameful and cruel, and says it does not reflect the national character, what australians are all ab

andrew stevens is in hong kong with the very latest. ng, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, john. difficult to say whether this is the beginning of the end here. a major step forward compared with last week where the hong kong government is saying the occupation of hong kong is illeg illegal. they are now saying they wi will listen to the students. they will talk about the issues and now the hard negotiations begin. john, neither side is giving an inch of ground. they want changes to the democratic process for 2017. the government will say it will go through with what it already decided to do. i can tell you around here at the moment, there has been a thinning out of the number of protesters coming to the main protest site in the central business district. don't say we can't write that off. there are still 3,000 people down here. there are other protest sites in the city which are still occupied as well. the students certainly at this stage, although the negotiations are going on, they are digging in here and showing no sign of abandonin

let's talk more with andrew stevens. he joins us live from hong kong with more on that. there is this large debate happening all over the world. the balance between politics and science. but what is changing as far as australia's immigration policy and the way it screens at-krifk passengers? >> reporter: it's quite a dramatic step taken by the australian government. they are banning giving anyone a new visa if they are seeking to come to australia from an ebola-affected country. it's aimed at the west african countries, but the australians are not saying it is specifically those countries. what they say, for any grounds at all, humanitarian or otherwise, you will not be able to get a visa to enter australia. if you already have a visa,ly tested three separate times before you come to australia where you will be put on watch as well. and if you are an australian resident coming back to australia you will also be quarantined. so there is quite a big move from the australians. it has been met, though, with quite a lot of criticism in political circles, this decision to basi

andrew stevens joins us from the protest site. where do things stand now?, as you say, a lot more people have come into this main protest site in the past 24 hours. there are now thousands and thousands of people here. and it's collected quite a few onlookers as well. a lot of families walking through to see what's going on. don't underestimate the commitments of the student-led protests. look behind me. you can see the number of people going right up into the financial heart of the city. and it's got that air of perms in an -- permanence here. so many tents, and places they can get refreshments. if you look across here, they have set up a homework stand here. these are students. a lot of these students are just 16, 17 years old. they have set up this bench here. i have been talking to some of the students here. as you can see, this is a fashion student. we have math students here. there's music. there's economics. all these kids are down here basically protesting, but making sure they stay up, current, with their studies. and what's important about this is

andrew stevens is with us from hong kong. ew, we are hearing about trouble brewing for hong kong's chief executive over revelations that he received large payments from an australian company. what are the details? and what are we to make of the timing of this new information given that protesters have been calling for his resignation? >> reporter: certainly the timing is an embarrassment, and you're right, the protesters have, from day one, demanded his resignation. what's happened in the last 24 hours is that it's come to light that the chief executive received a payment of just slightly less than $6.5 million when he was chairman of a company. that company was sold, and he took that money or was offered that money as a noncompete clause. so basically the company that bought his company paid him off so he wouldn't start as a rival. this happened before he became the chief executive, but the payments were made, staggered payments were made after he was, indeed, elected to buy this nominating committee in 2012 as the chief exec

. >> now, for all the details and the latest on the protests let's cross to our andrew stevens who is in hong kong. andrew, i understand some rain has moved in so we can't see you at the moment. as we look at this larger issue there are so many unanswered questions as to where all this goes from here. just by getting the government to agree to speak directly to one of the protest leaders is in itself a victory for this democracy movement? >> reporter: i think it's fair to say that, errol, in fact, in the two days leading up to that decision by the government to open negotiations, a lot of people were saying they had already scored a victory and show what a united force they were and sending a strong message to beijing and the fact that some of the advisers saying you should call it off now and now you've made your point but certainly opening negotiations for the government is a major coup for the student leaders. the question now, of course, is can they actually get any concessions and that's still a very, very open question. it is hard to see at this phase whether there would be any

let's connect live with andrew stevens at one of the main protest sites to see what's happening here. andrew, something has been accomplished behind the scenes. there is now discussions set to take place between representatives of the protesters and the government. how has that had an impact on what's happening where you are on the streets? >> reporter: i think some people have decided that now there is a clear negotiation planned for perhaps a resolution here. and i use the word perhaps here, errol, because at this stage neither side is at least publicly giving any indication they are prepared to compromise in any way. but even the mere fact there are now official negotiations about to start, we think that will start sometime later this week, it's enough to have taken some of the people off the streets here. definitely there are fewer people here. it is a quiet time of the day, sort of the middle of the afternoon here in hong kong. the crowds tend to swell at night, but even then we're not seeing the same sort of numbers we've seen before. i think there's also a bit of fatigue. we ar

let's bring in andrew stevens live from hong kong. he's been following all of this for almost two weeks. those who want to get back to work and allow hong kong to get back to business seem to be more irritated with the people remaining in the streets. how many people are left out there? >> reporter: no doubt, the numbers are diminishing. but by no way and no stretch of the imagination is this protest coming to an end. these streets, there is a hard core of protests on the streets. and they're going to stay on these streets. as i look around the tents, all up and down, it is still very well supplied. and they say that what they will stay until they get some sort of resolution. let me show you the scene behind me. this is a student, this is just sort of an open mic and there's a lunch time crowd at the moment. with these protesters, you're getting an all of lot of office workers to mingle. and judging by the applause these people are getting and a lot of the crowd here are obviously not students. they are still applauding what is being

andrew stevens is live in hong kong. he joins us now. if they do move into those building and occupy those government buildings is that a red line for authorities there in hong kong. >> well, you would have to say so, john. it's a big escalation. it's automatic the police would respond to any what is essentially an invasion of government offices. he said there would still be a decision made, but if you look at what happened last time when people tried to get into the build, in fact, this is where we are right now, this is where they tried to get in, there was tear gas used. i just want to paint the picture for you here. this is outside the central government headquarters here and it's become, as you see, the hong kong wall of shame. if you look through the bars, you can see a pretty minimal police prevention here at this stage. but this is likely to be the focal point of any moves to occupy. just walking along this, you see there are hundreds now of these yellow ribbons sort of pledging their support to the protesters. and also some of t

. >>> andrew stevens is in hong kong and joins us now live.ou've been giving us regular updates, hourly updates today. give us a sense where things stand now on the heels of this meeting that the student leaders were finally able to get with government official there's. >> well, day 25, errol, and things stand pretty much as they always have. the differences that there has been, as we've been reporting this meeting between the government and the protest leaders, this is a meeting that had been twice postponed. many are suggesting it may not happen at all. so having the meeting in itself has been a step forward. but as you point out, both sides coming away if that with still a lot of daylight between the two sides. and the result really is what you see here all around me now, these tents. these tents are going nowhere, basically. these are the students who have dug in here. more and more tents keep appearing. they say they're going to stay here. the student leaders say they're going to stay here until they get some sort of concrete proposal, co

andrew stevens joins us now live from hong kong. on the aerial shot, certainly a lot less people out on the street, but it's 3:38 in the afternoon, and this has been the pattern that we've seen anyhow. but the student protesters appear to have lost the support of many in hong kong. but the big question is, what will happen if these talks on friday don't end well? could we see large numbers of demonstrators back on the streets? >> well, certainly the protest leaders have said that they do want substantive change. they have threatened that, for example, if the student protesters who are still here are threatened in any way, they would end the talks. so they are still in an aggressive mood about getting what they want. the numbers may be diminishing here, but the impact is still the same. if you look down this road, this is the main arterial road. there's a six-lane highway in and out of the city. this is usually absolutely clogged at this time of the day, with traffic coming in and out of the financial heart. if you move over here, yo

that's for sure, just past 2:30 in the afternoon, andrew stevens joining us live on what appears to beday there, thanks. >>> hundreds of foreign fighters have been streaming into syria and iraq to join forces with isis. but now some are going there to fight against the militants and one of them is a former u.s. soldier. our ivan watson has his story. >> reporter: armed men are a common sight here in kurdish-strolled northern syria, a country embroiled in a vicious civil war. but one of the gunmen in this truck is not like the others. so how do people react to you when they see and realize you're from the u.s.? >> they ask she if i come off for dinner and stay a night at their house. >> reporter: jordan is a 28-year-old former u.s. army soldier from sturdevant, wisconsin. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> i'm good. >> reporter: for the last month he's also been a volunteer fighter in the kurdish militia known here as the ypg. >> i got in contact with the ypg on facebook and i prayed about it for a month or two and just really soul searched and said is this what i want to do. and eventu

andrew stevens is live with us in hong kong.rew, it seems the promise of talks between the protesters and the government have really taken some of the wind out of the democrat statinstration demonstrations. >> reporter: absolutely, john. it is a time for negotiations now and those negotiations begin tomorrow between the hong kong federation students and various government representatives here in hong kong. but it does look like it's going to be something of a longer term process given the fact that the initial round of talks is going to be talking about constitut n constitutional and legal frameworks, so they can then talk about the key issues about the future of the chief executive here and more important about the process which has been approved by beijing about how the next chief executive will be chosen. there are fewer people here without a doubt but it is -- feels a lit like sort of the end of the beginning rather than the beginning of the end here. i think there has been a big turnout seen over the past 10, 11 days, peopl

andrew stevens joins us now live from hong kong. you've been covering these protests from the very beginning that began several weeks ago. what is the scene right now? what would this noncooperation movement look like? >> well, the noncooperation is really just civil disobedience. it means essentially occupying parts of hong kong, including this one. this is the main protest site here. they will continue to occupy this area, very, very disruptive to the normal functioning of hong kong. what's happened in the past 24 hours is the government actually called off talks that were supposed to happen last -- about 24 hours ago. and the students, in response to that, called out the ranks of their fellow students back to the central site. if you look around, there are a lot more people, thousands and thousands of people. it's a bit like a carnival atmosphere here, too. this is origami umbrella making. they've become very much the symbol of this movement, particularly the yellow umbrella. there are thousands and thousands of people, as i say,

andrew stevens joins us live from hong kong with details. good to see you again. so c.y.ved this $6.4 million payment and his office said there's nothing untoward here so what was this payment and i guess more importantly, how is it being interpreted where you are? >> reporter: well, i think it depends on who you ask on how it's being interpreted. errol, obviously the protesters, people demanding his resignation for 12 days see this as just more fuel to their fire and another good reason for the chief executive to stand down so what happened is that he was the chairman of a company which was bought by another company and under the terms of that deal, he received $6.4 million as a noncompete. it is a pretty standard business practice. he did not have to disclose it and the noncompete was that he return for him not running and starting up another company at a rival. the timing is what this is all about. he did that deal just a few days after he announced that he was going to be standing, running for the chief executive's position and at that time, errol, he wasn't kerred to
