charles: connell mcshane, thank you very much.nd trying to calm political protests in hong kong. that became difficult as hong kong's leader championed that embattled extradition bill but not resigning. we have jillian melchior who returned from hong kong glad you're back here safe and sound. >> yep. charles: the experience there, it was amazing. millions of people protesting this. >> it was quite the sight. two million people showed up on sunday to protest this. this was extraordinary act of courage because on wednesday there was high level of police violence. 150 cans of tear gas-fired into the crowd, rubber bullets. people showed up and protested because they're afraid this extradition law would essentially impose china's justice system on to hong kong. it would mean anyone in hong kong, whether hong kong or foreigner could be extradited to china and subjected to the chinese legal system, jailed, potentially even tortured. so they took to the streets in protested this. they were able to get extradition bill put on pause for now
