the streets over the last couple weeks as hong kong really took stock of the results of that district council election where pro-democracy candidates really won a landslide victory today the huge numbers of people back on the streets there's been a lot of talk about the fact that there's been no major new concessions from authorities here off to the results of those district council elections were announced that goes some way to explaining the huge turnout here today people of all ages on the streets calling for that 5 to months to be met as we know mariana including it including into. right now. on the night of the. just night being behind. mancini to take. one of their protest has been a piece approved by police since mid august so that goes some way to explaining why there's been huge numbers of people on the streets here today now the turnout figures haven't yet been announced but this is really reminiscent of the 1st. time. that in 1000000 people. pulling for that. all right charlotte it sounds like we are having some difficulty with our audio connection we couldn't quite hear everything

where the pro-democracy politicians and the political parties secured a majority in 17 of the district councils this group they want a rerun of that council because they believe that there was rigging involved they're also calling on the protest movement to stop the pro-democracy or anti-government demonstrations which have lasted for about 6 months now we're now about to hit the 6 month anniversary they condemning the protesters calling them violent and radical. but also another message here is showing support for the police in the place have been accused of using excessive force by some of the demonstrators in recent months this group is showing their support for those up place so certainly the mind message here you might ever see behind me the flags the key messages here and here is that they are showing their loyalty and patriotism to mainland china ok so let's look ahead to sunday our rally that's going to be organized by the pro-democracy groups what what can we expect from that. sometimes rallies organized by the civil human rights front this is the organization that part of a group that

many of those people who marched on sunday were the same people who voted in those historic district council elections 2 weeks ago when the government party suffered a real dropping and the pro-democracy cam was left with control of 17 out of hong kong's 18 district councils and today i think you know the people of hong kong sent another defiant message to the embattled chief executive kerry land the organizers of this march the civil and human rights front of said that today marks the last chance to carry to meet their demands now caroline has said that she is listening humbly to the people but so far we have seen no action is going to be no quick solution to this crisis china continues to to watch from the sidelines has been no intervention so far from china military intervention we are in a sort of quagmire and you know this void is going to go on i think for weeks if not months and i think if people thought that the you know the protest movement was coming to an end that it would run out of steam i think you know they're mistaken. but is that still the hope for the government in beijing

huge numbers of people onto the streets there had been a low in protests like this since the district council election results last month where pro-democracy candidates won by a landslide shattering government claims that a silent majority was against protests like this since then authorities here have promised to listen and reflect on those results but have offered no further concessions now the protesters back a sea of people of all ages marching in what's been a largely peaceful protest today this protest also marks 6 months since the 1st major rally of this movement since then thousands of people have been arrested some 10000 rounds of take gas fired making the numbers back on the streets today all the more striking also a clear sign that these protests aren't coming to an end any time soon. our correspondent in hong kong well a fire has killed at least 43 people in the indian capital delhi it's believed that an electrical faults caused the blaze which swept through a factory where workers were sleeping. the fire erupted in the early hours of the morning turning the 6 torrie building into

streets now when will they they need to at least try and fight these 5 demands now since they district council elections at the end of last month when we know that the pro-democracy candidates won a landslide victory there has been a lull in protests on the streets bonce authorities have it caved in to any of the concessions since meaning that we did see these huge crowds back on the streets yesterday evening now we know from these results that they've shut its government claims that there is a sign a majority that is against these protests we've been hearing from people for months now that even if they're not taking to the streets it doesn't mean that they don't back this movement and in fact we spoke to one man who is part of the company that is helping fund these protesters as they take to the streets let's have a look. faces hidden location can see oh it's only 10 with these hong kong entrepreneur has agreed to be filmed they've set up an online shopping service which supports the pro-democracy movement it employs protesters who've been arrested ok out of their homes to their part in the d

supporters say they still feel quite hopeful and that's partly i think because in the last local district councilelections that took place. pro-democracy candidates won about 87 percent of the scene and that's widely seen as a referendum on the protest movement i think was what the government is hoping is that perhaps that the longer this drags on the protest movement is going to support that is no indication that that's happening yet. in the home. while keeping on a similar theme india's opposition party has called on a new citizenship glory at a time when the country's traditions culture and history the legislation makes it easier for religious minorities from 3 neighboring countries to become indian citizens for protest. against india's secular constitution excluding muslims while women are on the front line of the anger. in new delhi. the 16 days into the nationwide protest against the contentious citizenship law and the women of new delhi are undeterred by the 26 dead arrests of a 1000 and the biting cold. police say they are only maintaining law and order and denying trying to quell the pro

last week the pro—democracy candidates in the district elections triumphed taking 17 of the 18 district councils this legislation meaning that every year the americans will look at hong kong and makea the americans will look at hong kong and make a judgment as to whether beijing is rolling essential liberties and all the freedoms people say they want to hold onto, so there is a spring in the step of the protest movement today and a lot of people talking online feel they have made their point at the ballot box last week and may be this weekend is not the one for lots of violence and headline grabbing action. it seems they are taking stock and working out what they do next because they are up against china and the government here as they see it and they want a better strategy many believe that they are going to have any sort of long—term success and that is very difficult. thank you. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. let's start with cricket, and joe root‘s managed to play himself into a bit of form in england's second test against new zealand. the captain's been short of runs

inclination of doing so just 2 weeks ago of course the government party suffered a crushing defeat in district council elections and that has emboldened the protest movement here it was a belief that election result basically was an indorsement for this 6 month campaign but 6 months on the voice of protest shows no signs of diminishing. it began peacefully on june the 9th with a march against a bill for an extradition deal with china and the protest movement might well have ended then if hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb had heeded their demand to the absolutely found a man had succeeded with the withdrawal of the bill to safeguard our freedom nothing would have happened. benson haute never saw him self as a front line activist but that's what he's become he's been arrested and forced to leave home. i told my dad we're going out to fight for the rights we deserve we had a big fight and after that he said move out move out if you don't want to stay at home anymore. benson was also there when protesters smashed their way into the heart of hong kong's government the debating chamber of the legislati
