sending the pla to the street and sending them to hong kong will not help hong kong, and especially hongwo systems. it's very fragile, and what kind of message are we going to send to the rest of the world if the pla is doing what they wanted to do, to kill students? are we going to have another tiananmen square in hong kong? we do not want to see that. and again, may ijust repeat one thing and emphasise this point. to deal with this issue, to resolve this problem, it's up to the chief executive. and she could do it in a political way, not by any other means. let me ask you about one country, two systems, which is of course the phrase that's been in use ever since the sino—uk pact was agreed in the mid—1980s. it was to ensure that from 1997, when hong kong returned to china, and for 50 years thereafter, at least 50 years thereafter, this part of china would operate under a large degree of autonomy, preserving many of the freedoms and traditional british values that it had had whilst it was under british control. but your party's principal objectives, the civic party's principal objective

i'm karishma vaswani, in hong kong. the chief executive, carrie lam has promised to take a hard line against the protestors who stormed and ransacked parliament. this is something that we should seriously condemn because nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong. police ended the eight—hour occupation, evicting hundreds of activists. but the damage remains. many in the opposition are starting to ask questions about the wisdom of these young protesters storming into this building. whether it was a victory of any sort or, in fact, it has handed victory to the government. i'm kasia madera, in london. also in the programme: we have a special report from the amazon rainforest, where huge tracts of forests are being wiped out. this is happening all over the amazon to create new farmland and the result is that the great forest has never been under such pressure. this is bbc world news, it newsday. good morning. it's 7 am in hong kong, where chief executive, carrie lam, used a news conference in the small hour

from their perspective is a good thing for hong kong that it's allowed hong kong which has been slowing down economically which is not the bustling financial center that it wasn't swas you know perhaps a decade ago they see this closer relationship as financially good for hong kong good for its economy good for its innovation and ultimately good for the young people and good for jobs and from that perspective they they all kind of be willed and i think they don't quite get it in some sense as to why people continue to protest continue to to really shout against this this close relationship and katrina as you saw in your earlier these protests in hong kong began over this extradition bill that the hong kong government put forward it was trying to get through that would allow. criminals who are wanted in mainland china criminal suspects who wanted in maine in mainland china to be extradited from hong kong to the mainland and of course the fear in hong kong. wrong was that this would be used to target political opponents but it wasn't clear where this originated from whether it cam

hong kong this is standard for them to do hong kong this is standard for them todoa hong kong this isfor them to do a bilingual press conference? she spoke both cantonese and english. it is interesting to know that carrie lam has been very much missing from the public eye. she has not been in the public for ten days now. and it is one of the reasons why there has been such a level of anger in hong kong. people have said that they've been taking to the streets in peaceful protest, including the largest protest in hong kong's history where 25% of the population of hong kong came out in protest, and still, carrie lam and the hong kong government has ignored them. she's kept out of the public eye, and today she's coming out to face the media at 4am. do you think of this ever happening before, a press c0 nfe re nce of this ever happening before, a press conference in the middle of the night? know, for everything that has happened in hong kong today has been unprecedented. storming the parliament is completely unprecedented. i've never seen anything like the level of violence we've seen tod

rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, hong kong.in handed over hong kong to china in 1997, the territory has been governed under the principle of "one country, two systems". so what do these protests mean for that system ? our diplomatic correspondent, james landale reports. july 1997, the moment britain handed hong kong over to china. the last governor, chris patten, presiding over one final act of empire. a handover whose legacy is still being fought over on the streets of hong kong tonight. it was back in 1984 that britain and china agreed a joint declaration that, in future, hong kong should retain some autonomy and freedom. so, after the handover in 1997, hong kong became a special region of china and the one country two system policy came into force. and that meant that, until 2047, when the declaration expires, hong kong should keep its free markets and independentjudges — at least in theory. frankly, the chinese have been breaking their word on thejoint declaration that they claim that it does not operate after 1997. the bri

words like hong kong, march, and the legislative council, hong kong cosmic government.se bashan could say, it is just a cts because bashan could say, it is just acts of vandalism by people who are being brainwashed by the us government. but now protesters have managed to get into a government building, beijing are saying they cannot let people see it. so they don't want any of that invasion, that occupation of the legislative council chamber. they will not want that disseminated or reported on at all. absolutely not. basically this idea that hong kong is part of china is an idea that comes up again and again, and there is a real austerity, a kind of seriousness around chinese politics. you couldn't just break into around chinese politics. you couldn'tjust break into a government building — that kind of idea to beijing... you couldn't see this. what about the whole debate, the people of hong kong don't want the people of hong kong don't want the extradition bell, they don't wa nt the extradition bell, they don't want suspects extradited to mainland china, is any of that

s a weapon deployed or not but under hong kong article basic law the hong kong government is able to request to intervene under social unrest or natural disasters and experts think that the reason why the central government is refusing to openly acknowledge whether the pill way will be deployed or not is because they still lack a clear policy direction to address the ongoing crisis in hong kong and of course this is coming right after another intense weekend of protests let's have a quick recap of what happened helmets and gas masks on both sides of the barricades a weekend of clashes between police and protesters in hong kong saw violent confrontations protests over the past 2 months against proposed extradition to ports in china have grown increasingly fractious. sunday's peaceful gathering grew into a march clogging up major thoroughfares police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds some of whom were carrying arms brothers the symbol of resistance to the government . a few adopted makeshift techniques to deal with tear gas and dismantled street signs for their protection others us

the media reaction in hong kong.resting. i was looking through the pages of the second—largest chinese—language newspaper here in hong kong. you can see on the front page, images of what went on inside that ransacked parliament building, the legislative council and really the focus here on the damage. computers wrecked, cables torn out of the walls. the headline something along the lines of hundreds of billions of hong kong dollars of damage and focusing on the repairs they will have to get under way in order for the legislative council building to be used again. and these messages of support from the police from pro—beijing civic society groups all saying the hong kong government needs to crack down on the protesters, urging authorities to find people who were responsible. and that is what we have heard from the hong kong government as well. carrie lam, into that now infamous press conference at 4am the morning in the early hours after the protesters in the early hours after the protesters made their way through the

and the symbol of hong kong the flag. the yellow sorry the white flower on a red background has been defaced above the speaker's podium and an old flag on filled with a british union flag on it which denotes of course 22 years ago and prior to that when hong kong was under british control it's 22 years ago today that britain was handed over to china let's have a look at what the cameras are finding here. and does that say the basic law of hong kong that would be denoting to the to the rules of the territory as defined by the territory not by beijing. and they you see some of the graffiti on the walls it's quite extraordinary isn't it and andrew thomas is our correspondent who's been watching it from the outside today andrew you saw the breach happening earlier you saw the riot police there as well clearly the hand nowhere to be seen now. that's right we haven't seen any place outside of the legislative council building all day monday they've left the protesters outside and this crowd has swelled from probably about 5000 p

a crime across the border outside the border of on call comes to hong kong and we need to have a legal framework to see how we would do what i want to say that is only there want to get into that deal has got nothing to do with any of the freedoms or core values of the people in hong kong so why that is so why should the chivas say the resign because she has an intention deficiences in the work of the government and you tell me which government leaders in the world have not made mistakes this is a these are huge missile insanity is a huge mistake look you know i know we had we not as i say a minute there is not a champion of the liberal party saying that you should resign as well be clearly that is not even to do with the call there was a freedoms of the people of hong kong now the government has not done expect the nation following enough true that is because of the fact that we need to deal with a particular criminal who is about to be released very soon and that basically. impact to the period of consultation now that is not ideal i accept but this is not the sort of thing but you s

dogon al-jazeera hong kong. earlier my colleague barbara starr spoke with joshua wong a leading a hong kong pro-democracy activist he was jailed for his role in the movement on once one on one of the people who are involved in the clashes at the shopping mall you just saw in jamil its report. more than $100.00 and people gator on the street again urged government food we withdraw and terminated their extradition bill and in the long term it's a must to apply free election in hong kong especially when one country 2 system eroded to be one country one in a hostage to the government has not rift joy to bill yet in fact abuse exists in the legislative program of cost the leader of hall call provide a misleading narrative claimed that the bill is that when we check on the lead just in the cold gram of parliament of hong kong that bill is do exist and can be easily reactivated again in the next trial from and that's why movements do continue and we urge government to terminate the bill now free election is to wait out

this is a change in hong kong? well, it shows there are deep divisions in hong kong.en seeing images of the streets of hong kong flooded with people who are calling for the government to do more to defend hong kong's autonomy, to defend its position against mainland china, those protests originally beginning to speak out against the extradition bill that the hong kong government was considering putting forth but we can never forget there was considering putting forth but we can neverforget there is was considering putting forth but we can never forget there is a was considering putting forth but we can neverforget there is a group in hong kong, certainly an increasingly vocal group, that prizes ties with mainland china. that hong kong can benefit from its relationship with mainland china. there are many business groups and others really do benefit from such a close link with mainland china. so they are not happy with these protests. we did of course see recently large pro—government protests. you're in beijing. can we speculate on how china might view this latest deve

so, within the next 12 months, when do hong kong government freely —— went to hear hong —— when the hongisks, i hope people have more understanding because 2 million hong kong people already took to the street but the government still ignored our requests. you, prior to these protests, a gathering momentum from weeks ago with regards to the extradition bill. you werejust released from jail yourself. have you heard about any arrests taking place overnight in reaction to these demonstrations that took lace at the legislative council? 20 activists have been arrested since a few weeks ago during the action to oppose the extradition bill and now hong kong police force have controlled and shut down the legislative council for criminal investigations. i would say that i know people around the world might have a bit of hesitation on what kind of force is being used bya on what kind of force is being used by a protester yesterday evening. i hope you will understand that when 30% of the population of hong kong alreadyjoined 30% of the population of hong kong already joined the rally 30% of the pop

reports from hong kong. after bringing central hong kong to a standstill on previous sundays protesters are taking their fight to the suburbs. and government leaders are struggling to clamp down on the wrist system's movement that is largely leaderless most of the protesters here are young people who tell us they are disillusioned about hong kong's future. protesters set up barricades in the center of schatten and riot police arrived from different directions trying to close off access routes. the situation is tense protesters remain defiant and the patience of police is wearing thin and. by 8 pm the police sent out a warning. they are ready to charge but here you can see the benefit of moving i think the interesting thing to me to the moment the police even me you know yelling and yelling when you know it's going in the fact that she. wasn't even me because in fact am even using me any more you don't want to make it seem some of the protesters retreated to a nearby and more complex the police ran after them

welcomes comfort some. 2000000 people on the streets of hong kong. failures by the hong kong government admitted by the chief executive kerry lam why is she still there why hasn't she was done and well i think this is a more complex question than simply asking why did she not resign 1st of all someone find also not go out of somebody's sails in there well not go there no i don't want to argue about a figure but. a more accurate figure would be more like half a 1000000. but even then it's a very very large number of people on the street and i think the government accepted that the 2nd thing is that we must understand what the government had been trying to do. a poll by one of the more mainstream newspapers of the people would turn now in force to march on sunday revealed that 90 percent of the people who march thought that the extradition bill was so enable the hong kong government to send people back to china for trial for criticizing beijing now they couldn't be more wrong i mean if you'd actually extradition because it is this extradition bill yeah

it has in recent years become a day of protest in hong kong but in past years, those have been large eful. today, the young activists who have exploded onto the streets of hong kongin exploded onto the streets of hong kong in recent weeks decided to make this a very different anniversary. a warning to viewers, there is flash photography in my report. exactly 22 years after china took control here, the use of hong kong today vented their fury, attempting today vented their fury, attempting to smash their way into the territory's parliament. —— the youths of hong kong. you can see these more radical activists have just broken through the window of the legco building behind me. they have managed to smash through the toughened glass and they are trying toughened glass and they are trying to get inside the legco building. inside, you can see there are large number the right place. so far, they have held back. the destruction continued and the police stood by. it looked very much like they had been ordered not to intervene. meanwhile, across town, hundreds of thousands of other hong kongers

hong kong cleans up after a night of mass protests that turn violent. in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong hong kong's chief executive kerry condemns the violence and defends the police response. the un's nuclear watchdog confirms iran is on reaching more uranium the agreed to u.s. president donald trump says he's playing with fire. and we meet the stargazers astronomy love those flocking to a small town to watch a rare eclipse. it's just been i am in hong kong where a massive cleanup operation has begun the day off the hundreds of protesters stormed the city's legislature monday's violence left day bodies scattered all over the building police used tear gas to clear the area off to demonstrate just smashed windows and splashed graffiti on its rules although still the day the government held ceremonies to mark 22 years since the end of british rule and hundreds of thousands joined a peaceful march where hong kong's leader carried them condemn the actions of protesters that

the people in hong kong. do not. do not like the. filings. they have you try to protest. you know and also hong kong. but here as we are there no one is mentioning that extradition bill anymore and stand there talking about safety and violence has the focus of these protests shifted. well some people still do mention the extradition bill from time to time but it's true you do not see these these slogans against the extradition bill that much anymore people are still angry that the government has shelved this bill but not with drawn but now they're focusing more on what has happened in the last few weeks because many people see this police brutality what they perceive as excessive police brutality as a symbol of how hong kong is governed and how their voices are heard so this is about the relationship between the hong kong government that is a government at the will of beijing and the hong kong people and the police is in the middle of that the police have become a symbol of the violence that people perceive t

you know and also hong kong. and he is as we heard there and no one mentioning that extradition bill anymore instead of talking about safety and violence has the focus of these protests shifted. yes it has you will still you have people talking about the extradition bill the problem is not over yet but this. disbelief these clashes and this police violence that has been perceived as exposed excessive has led to his his trace in society not the tactics of the police and the attitude of the government are much bigger issues because the government has not replied to the demands of the of society that has basically not been seen almost at all during these weeks and. an evaluation of hong kong's all of these actions during this time and police actions is one of the main demands and underlying is of course the relationship that hong kong people have with their government their feeling of being powerless against the government that listens only to what beijing said is and the government of course doesn't like the look o

she is beijing's woman in hong kong as well. well i did as i said i don't think this is being run from beijing it's not clear who is in charge what it is she's obviously the administrator it will all come down back to her in terms of this but i mean it's very clearly this is a visible demonstration that things are out of control in hong kong and if this continues i don't know that there will be any recourse except for ready the government to take strong action to control and i don't know what those actions would be i don't know carry land where we were forced to resign but at this point it seems that we're going to be stuck watching these pictures of these people doing i don't know what in the name of. acting lawlessly is acting lawlessly in the name of trying to have laws i know tying in with his views on what's happening in hong kong right now giving us an idea as well of what the view might be in beijing and we thank you for your time as we go back to the live pictures we've been since told that banner which you see unfold th
