with hong kong, because of huge week is starting for the city both politically and in the financial markets. this is the territory's pro—democracy movement has made huge gains in district councilchallenge to the embattled chief executive, carrie lam. the latest, let's cross over to hong kong and i am joined by my colleague, sharanjit leyl. sharanjit, the hong kong stock market has opened for business. what sort of reaction are we seeing? that's right, the hang seng is open and it is rising this morning. it was up i% at the opening bell, just a few minutes ago. really a response from many investors to this election result. it is a landslide victory, it appears. of course, all the full results are not officially on just yet. we are expecting them in the next few hours, but already indications show that over 70% of hong kongers overwhelmingly supported the pro—democracy camp and the pro—democracy candidates. they swept up the pro establishment beijing candidates, essentially, and this was really a very strong signal, a message being sent to beijing, to the chief executive, carrie lam, that this is what they want, that they are showing a huge show of support to the protest movemen

hong kong but rule of law is also equally important to must evolve you cannot promote greater democracy through violence or are not gate that's the key all politicians in hong kong including those council members who won the election yesterday should stand firmly against the violence and stand for restoration of law and order the israel palestine director for human rights watch here is sent to be deported from israel in the coming hours earlier this month israel's supreme court approved the government's decision to expel him as a us citizen and has been accused of supporting a campaign to boycott israeli goods and services and israeli law from 2017 bars and treats of people who publicly support a boycott. despite my deportation today the israeli government has failed to muzzle human rights watch or the human rights movement this case shines a light on the reality we face today as we stand in this room we are near 53 of an ugly occupation with no end in sight characterized by institutional discrimination by systematic repression and rights abuses and particularly the palestinian people if the israeli government can deport somebody documenting rights abuse without facing consequence how

democracy protesters and hong kong to beijing back to government a record number of voters turned out for the poll and handed a landslide victory to pro-democracy candidates for the city's local district councilsthe resulting defeat took hong kong to be legal government by surprise and up the pressure on beaching will that make a crackdown on the protesters more.

democracy protests. a little earlier i spoke to claudia mo — a member of the hong kong legislative council and pro—democracyt's utterly amazing today that the turnout and turnover could be quite so high. by midday, we got almost, well, almost a third more than a third of the voters had already voted. become completely un—susceptible to hong kong people and her —— carrie lam has become completely un—susceptible to hong kong people and her government have completely mistaken for the last half a year and beijing should have her replaced and removed as soon as possible. she has become such an unpopular, almost evil icon in hong kong. i also spoke to james tien — the former chairman and leader of the pro—beijing liberal party — i asked him what issues where compelling hong kong residents to vote. of course, it is not full democracy, but i think it is a step better than right now where the people don't get to vote. let's say there are two or three who are pro—government or pro—beijing, that the candidate that 4.1 million people can vote. during the debate, i think a lot of people will argue that, "hey, what are y

way for hong kong people to voice their opinion to voice their discontent or to exercise their rights because hong kong people can choose their district council is directly and this is democracy. this is actually what many have been asking for in the protests and secondly the council does have a little impact on the political landscape in hong kong because the chief executive is elected by 1200 members of election committee and in that committee actually a 100 of them are from the district council directly so in that sense. people can be represented directly through their district council is of course this is just a very small number but it is highly symbolic now you are yourself from hong kong and you've been following the events going on there what is the mood now now that the vote is happening the mood is very tense it's not like there are a lot of violence industry on the streets actually how has been briefly quiet in the past 2 or 3 days. and i guess this is because it is just so calm before storm i would say i've spoken to people from there and then they told me that it's been so quiet and it seems like the purchase has never happened before or to protest never erupted

whether or not the pro-democracy movement still enjoys popularity here in hong kong now it must be pointed out that pro establishment parties usually dominate in this district council elections but pro-democracy supporters are hoping that any gains that they can make a would be proof that they do symbolic proves that they do do still have support from people here on the ground for the process that have been taking place we coughed a week here in hong kong now home call of course as you well know weekends of protests often with violence you've often been there during that what has today been like charlotte hanna today has remained peaceful there have been riot police at all of the polling stations here across hong kong ensuring that it remains calm we have been hearing messages from protesters activists urging others to remain peaceful today they were afraid of anything provoking the government to the suspend or council these district council elections so it has remained peaceful here but in a testament to some of the violence that preceded this vote we're at the polling station in the constituency of jimmy shan he's a pro democracy activist who has been attacked tw

that there is still broad support here in hong kong for this pro-democracy movement now headed on a more practical level these pro democracy these district council elections do you play a role as well in shaping hong kong's political future albeit slightly a relatively small one for example 6 of these district councils will automatically get a seat on the legislative council that's hong kong's parliament and some say more importantly a dozens of district councillors will then be part of the committee that will in future select the next chief executive of hong kong so as a pro democracy candidate here they will see any gains that they make in this vote today is a step in the right direction for you know what they're aiming for here in hong kong our correspondent charles impale in hong kong for us thank you charlotte. well romanian very tuesday costing about it say to the 2nd round of presidential elections but they're doing so in a climate of political instability and public anger over allegations of corruption that if spock huge street protests that well lotus will decide between the incumbent president klaus your highness and former prime minis
