i am just hearing some shouting now with police sweeping into the causeway bay shopping district. mouse chases throughout what is usually a very busy district of hong kong. police have fired tear gas, pepper spray, they have deployed the water cannon and protesters, you can see behind me, they have been making makeshift barricades, some of them are still gathered here. the police tactic is to try and split everybody into smaller groups and prevent them from marching on to causeway bay. this originally was meant to be a protest of the national anthem law, which could see people jailed for not singing the national anthem, but it seems it is quickly evolving into dissent over the upcoming national security law, with people chanting, ‘independence for hong kong‘ and ‘revolution now,‘ phrases which may very well become illegal in just a few months‘ time. just give us an idea as to why people are so angry there about this proposed new security law. well, 17 years ago, half a million people hit the streets after hong kong tried to enlist its own national security law through article 23 o

thank you, i speak today with a heavy heart because the protest is happening around causeway bay fivei would say the biggest issue in all of this is that taipei and beijing and hong kong have grown apart over the last few years, especially since 2014, when taiwan had a massive protest against legislation against a agreement that would allow more trade and services between china and taiwan. and right after that, hong kong also started a very big protest against not being able to vote for their chief executive. so this has been ongoing for several years. fast forward to what happened with the resolution, thatis what happened with the resolution, that is likely to be passed on may 28, which authorises the national people‘s congress standing committee to d raft people‘s congress standing committee to draft a tailor—made national security more and impose it on the hong kong people. what has happened is that this is on the eve of course of taiwan‘s government going into its second term and taiwanese people are watching this closely. yesterday ata taipei are watching this closely. yesterday

i'm in causeway bay andi that's right. and i can still see large groups of young protesters coming to the area, many people standing and looking at the police wanting to see what's about to happen next. if you look across many other social media apps, used to organise these protests, one message which has come out is today, in some ways, it was a stress test for the police. they wanted to test the resistance to see how hard the police would crackdown if people we re police would crackdown if people were to come out onto the streets, so were to come out onto the streets, so in that sense, the protesters have been successful today. they've also tested the hong kong public to see if people are still willing to come out and essentially vote with their feet and show that they are strongly in opposition to this proposal. give us a bit of an idea why they are so angry about this new proposal. for many years now, people in hong kong have felt this city had been experiencing a slow motion erosion of the rights and freedoms the resi

well i think in this corner of causeway bay the police to slowly regaining control of the streets following a number of skirmishes earlier on sunday afternoon when tear gas was fired now these protests make it all very reminiscent of actually what happened a year ago when we had large protests also in this part of hong kong now these protesters of course are taking part in an unauthorized assembly but also they're defying a social distancing rules which ban groups of more than 8 people gathering in one place what we've seen today about known as a free flow up aeration which means that the protesters are we heading in all sorts of different directions in this part of hong kong now this was the biggest protest since january since the beginning of covert 90 but it's not of the scale of what we saw say you know 11198 months ago yes tear gas was fired there has been at least one arrest that al-jazeera witnessed but what it shows is that the people here are prepared to come out and defied you know social distancing defied orders not to protest because of the depth of anger over this planned secur

china's proposed national security law demonstrators blocked the streets a popular shopping district causeway bay the bill would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy. over now to adrian brown it joins us live from hong kong the streets look like now adrian. as you can see behind me this is. the busiest part of is in hong kong the police are still trying to clear it of protesters those protests. began several hours ago in fact this is the biggest protest hong kong the seen really since kovac 1000 arrived in hong kong in january and of course these protests have grown really because of the decision by china's national people's congress to impose a new security law on hong it is demonstrating here i think that what we're seeing is that these protesters are not going to be easily to target because even though the police had said that this was going to be a no that the people taking part in the protests today would be participating in unauthorized assembly they've also decided to basically defy social distancing laws by turning out and thos

stephen: renewed street classes in places like causeway bay, one of the most densely populated as well center of hong kong. we had pitched battles of at arrested mostly for illegal assembly. they have the social distancing religion still in place in hong kong in the aftermath, not even the aftermath, in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. four police officers were said to be injured. members of the public as well. you can see the footage and videos being passed around the community of protesters, attacking innocent bystanders or police coming up to people who were not provoking police officers but being sprayed with pepper spray. you can twist it anyway you want -- 30on a 32nd clip second clip. we have not seen this in several months. we went through the coronavirus .utbreak with relative peace the police did bring up the water cannon trucks, they did fire tear gas as protesters gathered to oppose the new national security laws proposed late last week at the legislature in beijing. protesters will continue to fight. more protests are scheduled. estimate news puts the in the hundreds

police officers in the causeway bay district, full riot gear on making arrests on the street. these people have been arrested on charges like offensive weapons possession or unauthorized protests. once this security law sweeps its way to hong kong, they could be arrested on far more serious charges like secession, sedition, foreign interference. back to you, laura. >> christi, thanks so much. i know there are interesting potential economic implications. >> absolutely, absolutely. this is a financial hub and a trading partner of the united states. let's take a look at global markets. hong kong's hang seng is down a little bit. mixed performance. secretary of state's mike pompeo saying hong kong is no longer autonomous from china. this could affect their trading status with the united states. da from the census bureau, the u.s. exported $6.36 billion and imported $952 million. it could mean higher costs for american businesses. could rattle an already fragile economy and maybe hurt hong kong more than china. president trump and congress will decide what actions to take next. the

this is the causeway bay, one of the main districts. if you have been to hong kong, causeway bay is where you see the large building and shopping malls. looks like back to the scenes we saw from last year. stuart: real fast, susan, the worse the crackdown by beijing the worse the violence, may be the stronger president trump's reaction to it, and that's maybe why the market is sold up 100 points on. dow what do you think? >> we've been hearing this. president trump says he will have a response in the next few days. peoplerying this, what can he do? probably will be sanctions. maybe he will freeze assets of chinese officials. that is the emotional extreme action he could do. something jimmy lai wants u.s. to take action. looks like sanctions. that in the end will hurt hong kong and financial system and eventually people fighting for their freedom. stuart: got it, susan. we'll stay on that. it is happening right now in hong kong. back home in afternoon the president attends, will be in florida, when two american astronauts blast off. it i

we are in causeway bay where we are seeing the scuffles. i want to bring you around to the protesters on this side. there are hundreds if not thousands. thousands of protesters spread out. and they're playing a game of cat and mouse with police. but these are people who feel that this could be the very last day that they are actually allowed to come out onto the streets and protest before it is criminalized. and that is the fear, with this national security law that beijing has said they are going to push through at the national people's congress this week. that once that is enacted, sedition, secession, sub version, treason will be banned. and they just think coming out on the streets and protesting, and we've soon signs today, michael, it's not just calling for greater freedoms, they're calling for independence. these are some of the things the protesters are saying to us, hong kong independence. it's the only way out. for these protesters who are defying police, these are unlawful assemblies, unlawful protests. they don't have permits fr
