come out to protest we've got hundreds of people walking out of going to shine one which is on hong kong island to central we believe they're on a white potentially to where we are if not there already a time apart which is where the legislative council building is now.

i am on hennessey road, on the north of hong kong island. the scene of intense battles between protesters and police. gotesters had tried to towards the beijing liaison office but decided to come back groupe there was a large of riot police. they were pushed back by water cannons. we were situated on an overpass about a mile west of here. delano: we are showing you images unfolding in hong kong. these protests have gone on for four months. >> they have escalated how much teargas they have released this month -- this week. this is pretty much unprecedented. there is the shooting of a teenager. he was shot point blank in the chest. appeared to show the youth youth with a baton. what can be said is hong kong for riote not trained situations. this had been possibly a case of an officer panicking. normally they would fire in the air. may have feared for his life. been --g protester has he is about 15 or 16 years old. >> this is anynything frfrom whi jinping would have wanted. >> if a screenwriter were --ting this, there would not he said no force

come out to protest we've got hundreds of people walking out of going to shine one which is on hong kong island to central we believe they're on their way potentially to where we are if not there already a time apart which is where the legislative council building is now i can also report that 104 people were hospitalized on tuesday 2 others are in critical condition and 2 others are in a serious condition and 180 people were also arrested on tuesday and 25 police were also injured so it was an extraordinary day of dramatic scenes and certainly the escalation of violence has just been a turning point i think for these protests which are now in their 4th month what happens to all of those who were arrested yesterday is there are they due to make court appearances today. or court appearances have been held for 97 of the people who were arrested on sunday and i can tell you that 96 of those 97 have been charged with writing acts. now if you are charged with a writing act that incurs a heavy a penalty and a much heavier jail sentence so it's a much more serious offense and i can also commend them f

china and i want to despoil hong kong protesters want to spoil that celebration and they certainly have we know there are 6000 places been deployed here in hong kong island and as well as on the other side of color inside a nice place have been very busy the pockets of rallies or assemblies and clashes as well as stand offs across hong kong now behind me with the right behind me is completely blocked blocked off areas in front of me are blocked off the police are mobilizing very quickly now i should say 30 ice n.p.r. stations are closed as a result the trams are being closed for a long time this afternoon so one of the tactics has been trying to stop those people mobilizing or getting to those location points but as i mentioned most of today the 10s of thousands of people rallied that was peaceful it's only at the not last few hours where things have started to unravel. thank you very much sarah clarke then with the very latest from hong kong. where the day did start a lot more peacefully there had been celebrations and in china itself they were marking 70 years since the communist party seized we have 2 reports one in a moment from rob matheson he's in
