expected that this very afternoon there would be an official and technically illegal protest rally in causeway baythat the numbers will be quite numerous, probably up to tens of thousands and maybe even hundreds of thousands and maybe even hundreds of thousands and the police will not be in any position to make an arrest. but people feel very sad and very pessimistic in regard to the future because the government refuses to listen and to respond to the demands of the people and refuses to engage in reconciliation and dialogue. if people feel pessimistic, why do they continue to protest? they feel that today they still have a chance to protest and articulate their demands so they need to grab this opportunity. otherwise the opportunity may not exist tomorrow. there is a sense of desperation and this also explains the escalation of the level of violence on both sides, on the side of the protesters as well as on the side of the police. briefly, are we in danger of china intervening? there is a lot of subtle intervention. the activation of the emergency regulation ordinance certainly has been endorsed

these people, there were tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of them marching from causeway bay up to central -- there were just streams of them for two plus hours defying that face mask ban, which came into effect friday midnight. carrie lam using these emergency laws. you can see tear gas right down there in the distance. if we can get the cameraman to zoom down there. tear gas is being disbursed down there. they are trying to break up this group. the chief executive carrie lam decided to enforce emergency laws and bring about this face mask ban to try to restore law and order. obviously people wear surgical face masks so as to conceal their identity. we might just head in this direction. but there were tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, on of protesters who were taking into the streets defying the ban. it was quite extraordinary to watch, george. i'm talking about a cross-section of society. you can see the riot police up there on the overpass just monitor the situation. it was a cross-section of society. we're talking about mothers carrying toddlers. it was an

sophie: i'm standing here in causeway bay, one of 18 districts where calls were made throughout the daysocial media for a gathering to take place. as you can see behind me, while there are police stationed on either side of this street here, there is no one really in attendance. we had maybe just two dozen or so, or even less, protesters with masks on, chanting "glory to hong kong." as soon as the riot police arrived on the scene, they seemed to disperse. this is very different from the scenes across victoria harbour. prince edward station, where a police station is also located, they are having hundreds of protesters there. tear has been deployed, so there's still a bit of those confrontations going on on that side of the harbor. this after three days that saw thousands take to the streets in opposition to the mask law that was enacted midnight on friday. carrie lam's administration going through the executive council, not the legislative council, to invoke emergency powers. people wearing masks during public assemblies could be arrested, with jail time of up to one year and a fine of

this is a big shopping area called causeway bay, on the island of hong kong.s as usual but actually, this is a city which is partially in shutdown because the mtr, the metro network, was suspended yesterday, the first time that has happened since these protests began, there was no buses or light rail last night and all of the metro stations we re night and all of the metro stations were closed and it remains the case this morning which makes it of course harderfor this morning which makes it of course harder for protesters to get around and to plan what they are going to do. we have looked at social media this morning and it is supposed to be a protest massing here in 55 minutes, two o'clock local time, but these things do tend to emerge but there is a sense of some social media they will stay away and wait until the mtr system opens again so perhaps the move by the authorities have been successful, we will have to wait and see. in terms of the broader context, look, really, a case of heightened tension last night, the police admitted the 14—year—old teenager

by a where the protesters that were behind sara not long ago and now making their way towards causeway bay on the eastern side of hong kong island now today we have seen you know plenty of violence we have had you know live rounds used once more so the violence is becoming much more intense a much more sporadic much more widespread. ok a.g.m. brain things do seem to be heating up behind you won't let you are get back to it there in hong kong but thanks very much for bringing us some context see this unfolding situation. thank you report 7 march that suggests president trump sought the help of another foreign these are for political gain u.s. president donald trump ostia strangely and prime minister to help the justice department investigate the miller inquiry which examines russian interference in the 26 election history and governments has admitted so it's agreed to help when the president is already facing an impeachment inquiry into his dealings with the ukrainian president. reports. for us president donald trump right now it's all about the investigations the impeachment investigation

this is the middle of causeway bay on hong kong island and you can see, here come the riot police ande of at least six different protests taking place, here. with the water cannon speeding after them and the riot police close behind, the protesters fled into the back streets. and so, began a game of cat and mouse. on a street corner we found this group of angry local residents cursing the police. up above, they had a suspected protester cornered. as the police marched him away, the crowd screamed at them, "gangsters, we curse your whole family!" this is how deep the divisions have now become, here. this is now the new normal. we're joined now by mei fong, director of strategy at the centre for public integrity. thank you for coming on the programme. you just heard our reporter basically saying this is the new normal but it is hard to imagine that is acceptable to the leadership in beijing. no, not at all, this was exactly what the protesters wanted to happen. on one hand you have the pomp and ceremony in beijing on down south was writing. this was the picture they wanted the world to

that message that they were canceled until too late so we have a couple of 1000 you know from causeway bay which is a very main shopping district and now they're walking to a one shot area a couple 1000 there we were with them for private 4 or 5 blocks blocking traffic but they've kind of moved on quickly but again you know this isn't directed fines of what carrie lamb was saying in this video statement i think the way this protest movement is organized is more of an indication of why what happened today happened it's not really that there are divisions within the movement because it's decentralized there's not one person or one organization one body that really kind of orchestrates everything that's happening it's done by committee if you will so i think what this was is people came out before they canceled the event people came out and they figured we're here let's march anyway and that really feels this march has that organic movement of people u.s. house democrats to subpoena the white house for documents relating to the impeachment inquiry into the president donald trump says he won't

but at the moment in causeway bay, which is a major shopping district, we are hearing that police officersing to push the protestors to that area and making rounds of the rest of the evening. this is the day that the protesters are quote, unquote, mourning the day we certainly saw in the peaceful demonstration earlier today many of them holding flags of the united states, the united kingdom. not that of china by the way because basically they're calling against the hong kong government along with the chinese authorities because they feel like hong kong government does not really represent the people of hong kong and, of course, there is a report or i should salo call media reports are suggesting that there has been a shooting incident as well one pro democracy activist has been reportedly shot by a live round by hong kong police. of course, cnbc did try to independently verify that, which we haven't been able to do so. the pr office of police have simply said that they're gathering information at the moment but, of course, moving forward, how much of an angry response will that garner from
