in 2019, violent clashes spread through hong kong. ions of hong kongers took to the streets to protest against china's growing control in the region. they felt their freedom of speech was being threatened with new risks of deportation to china and possible torture. the hong kong government denied this and condemned what they described as riots, saying they endangered public safety. the protests were eventually quashed. the chinese government then brought in a national security law, which they said was needed to protect the city. the law gave china powers to punish protesters, control the education system, social media and the press. many hong kongers felt this law impacted their civil liberties, making it impossible for them to stay. but for some, there was a new way out. we will put in place new arrangements to allow those in hong kong who hold british national overseas passports to come to the uk. we will never abandon our commitment to the freedom of hong kong and its people. in january last year, the uk government introduced a rout

and those are good old times of hong kong that especially when the hong kong is facing light politic upheavals after handover. so many people like are missed those times late. and that the colonial rule and like even and do today we were c o c, some like arm side to footprints of, of the queen like are many, are important facilities like the hospitals. some public schools are a named after queen elizabeth and even some coins lay with our her face on it still satellite until today. so she is kind of late, still living memory is poor for many residents to hong kong. phoebe kong on the boss, lady and her footprint in. okay, thank you. well, apart from the u. k, queen elizabeth was the monica of 14 countries. one of those was pop when you're guinea, which like nearby australia and new zealand woke up today with a new head of state. king charles, the 3rd is b and g.

, 0 over policy terminal from hong kong is d. deborah correspondent, phoebe kong with a more phoebe a 2 and a half years to get to this point. how are people reacting this is definitely an aside. ting start up to get hung come back to normal though. this is only like one of the very cautious steps to connect hunk to reconnect hunk on with the rest of the well, that are ones at the government who announced the a relaxation matches. people rush to book tickets and secure our flight to i travel to around world, and particularly in some of the a very popular destination in how and asia are. for example, japan thailand, the taiwan on that. like, for example, a hong kong flagship kerry. at cathay pacific lapse i has recorded at hand both of ah traffic things. the announcement of the relaxation matches that some of the i a travel agency they, they have did hacked it a 5 to sex. both of flight searches are seeing the announcement of the new meshes so on. these are new matches. that definitely is boosting outbound travel. but on the other

that those countries are opening up more faster at than hong kong that they will, le, hinder hong kong, competitiveness and as a international hub. but i wonder if people are all of that same view when i am austin goose vickers. the government has remarks these rules after 2 and a half years. do people think that this could potentially be an indication that a beijing is willing to relax, moving into the future? it's a 0 covered approach in hong kong and that the mainland i sat like many people a those are, they're excited about the, the, the, are the small step of opening up a but that, and most of the people as the very concerned off to progress that this is still a very cautious step to was normality say ah, as you can see, i'm still wearing a moss. this is a compulsory in hong kong which has been imposed for over 2 and a half years that but are look at like other asians canstio or, or other international cities around to while this is no longer a mandatory masha. so in the, in this sense, hong kong is still being, all like our restricted at under a serious are very strange and socia

stephen engle joins us from hunger hong kong -- from the hong kong international airport. this is a step in the right direction, but there are calls on the government to do more. stephen: absolutely. there are calls for this government to do much more because we are cut in a halfway point. let's concentrate on the positive and then we can focus on the negative. there are far more media here than passengers arriving. we are expecting a number of passengers from boston to be coming through immigration shortly, but one thing we have heard from some passengers is that one thing in particular came in from taipei. someone was ecstatic and he booked his flight immediately once that realization came out on friday to get back into the city. this arrival point here, the last time i came into hong kong, this was a staging area to get onto the hotel quarantines bus. after you get here, you have been pretty exhausted getting through immigration, waiting for your pcr tests, then you have to get here and go to the quarantine hotel for as long as 21 days. that was reduced to seven, down t

was this expected under the current hong kong government. i think the seriousness of test centers is a little bit of expectation, but to be honest with you, i think that under the oppressions of the whole and chinese government at the moment was the security law. i think that would be even a little bit, i'll expect a expectations, but i think that will become a known in the civil society. it's interesting to talk about the national to go to know. however, in this particular case, the national security law appears not to have been use, it appears to have been a trial under the colonial era sedition law. what does that say about the judicial process in hong kong? i think we have to take a holistic perspective that the hong kong and the chinese government is now using national security as a concept as a pretext in suppressing the civil society as well as the right to freedom of expression in hong kong. so although in this particular case, national security law is not being used to prosecute certified speech therapist. but as you have said, this

what does that say about the judicial process and hong kong? i think we have a holistic perspective that the hong kong and the chinese government is now using national security as a concept. as a pretext in suppressing the civil society, as well as the right to freedom of expression in hong kong. so although in this particular case, national security law is not being used to prosecute the 5 speech therapist. and this has been a set of law that has been passed by the colonial government decades ago. it has been used for many, many years. but now they are recycling these kind of precedent laws in pressing a direct to freedom of expressions. so as you can see from the coming up from the national security has become a very central idea in prosecuting the speech therapist. because i do have inciting hatred against the chinese at home as well as in national security. we are of course, also talking about children's books here. so should the pro democracy activists be deliberately timing these children's books political i think this 1st of all of your

that border between hong kong and the mainland.ng was pressuring hong kong to take this rigid approach to covid control. what has changed? how has lee gotten away with this, and does he have the backing of the beijing authorities? michelle: there does seem to have been a financial -- a fundamental shift in beijing because they are realizing how difficult hong kong has been taking because of the curb. other places are cutting into hong kong's business, but there has been a shift. we hear that beijing is on board with the move and perhaps they have been wondering what has been taking hong kong so long to begin with. it is puzzling because there has been concern in the past that hong kong's earlier outbreaks might have seeded some of the concessions that happened in china, which is still maintaining a covid zero approach, so we are hearing that beijing is on board with this and they are looking at this point to support hong kong and its measures to reopen. not only that, lee has proposed other measures that would allow people to move
