laura, we have been hearing from joshua wong.nificance of him being released and people hearing what he has to say? this is a big moment and no doubt it will inject some fresh enthusiasm into the protests here. joshua wong was one of the faces of the 2014 umbrella movement and he was jailed for his role in leading that movement. 0ne was jailed for his role in leading that movement. one of the key differences between now and then is that these protests have been largely leaderless. they have not been organised a major political party or political organisation. but joshua wong, we understand from his press officers, will come here to speak to protesters later today. we saw some protests earlier. it looks like the road has cleared behind you. do we expect people to return to the streets at some point? within the last hour, this road which is one of the main roads in central hong kong, it has been opened. we saw protesters removing barricades and also making their way to the ledge cove, hong kong parliament just over here on my left.

here's joshua wong's reaction to that.e that that is a kind of achievement, because of a million people of hong kong joining a rally to show our dissatisfaction, but what we ask for is the withdrawal of the extradition law instead of having it suspended. we know carrie lam or the hong kong government so it was suspended, but what we ask for is total withdrawal of the plan at all. no extradition law at all. that is what we ask for. the hong kong authorities have called the protestors rioters, that's certainly not true of the vast majority of them. so who are they? this article from english language news site shanghai ist argued many are christians and that the hymn ‘hallelujah praise the lord' has become an unofficial anthem of these protests. this video was shared by the activist and singer denise ho. # sing hallelujah. .. studio: she describes protesters resolving a dispute and then one of them breaks into song sing hallelujah to the lord. here's helier cheung in hong kong. some of them are 16, 17, in their early 20s and

pro-democracy activist joshua wong was released from prison monday. he was the face of 2014's occupy movement. he immediately joined this protest. >> hong kong people, we will not keep silent under the suppression of president xi and the chief executive carrie lam. carrie lam must step down, otherwise i believe in the next few weeks, before the 22nd anniversary of hong kong transfer of sovereignty, more and more hong kong people, not only 1 million or 2 million people, will come and join our fight until they -- we get back our basic human rights and freedom. >> and our anna coren joins us now live from hong kong. anna, it is 2:00 in the afternoon there. what does the day look like as far as these protests go? >> reporter: well, other than being a little bit rainy, rosemary, it is quiet here in hong kong, which is a stark difference to what we witnessed yesterday. it was absolutely historic. a sea of people making their way through the heart of hong kong. for hours and hours they came from victoria park to where we are here in at teymar, outside the le

joshua wong spoke to supporters on his release.ong kong peoplejoin demonstrations and protests over the past few weeks. this showed the spirit and resilience of hong kong people. we ask for is to urge carrie lam, the chief executive, to withdraw the extradition bill. what we are trying to do is civil disobedience and direct action and that the whole world singing doesn't let the international community is to realise that how hong kong people will not keep silent under the suppression of presidencies in being an chief executive carrie lam. carrie lam must step down, otherwise, ideally in the next two weeks before the anniversary of hong kong sovereignty, more and more people, not only one or 2 million people, not only one or 2 million people will come and join our fight in till we get our basic human rights and freedom. that is joshua wong speaking to the press shortly after his release from prison. joining me now from hong kong is the bbc‘s laura westbrook. laura, joshua now becoming a mouthpiece, isn't he, in a way to explain what

joshua wong told me the bill would not be enough. hong kong's chief executive must go, too. ua: she need to pathe price, she need to step down. if she do not step down, i believe the demotration, the rally that happened yesterday, is not the largest number of participants. in the future there will be a million hong kong citizens come to the streets. rupert: this afternoon hard-core protesters returned to the streets, vowing to press on until their demands are met. the much smaller number of protesters here today may not feel it yet, but they have already won. the hated extradition bill is in effect already dead. the question now is whatappens to hong kong chief executive carrie lam. even pro-government lawmakers are blaming mrs. lam for the current mess. >> now she create a problem. if she leave, who is going to come and take up the problem? if it was me, i don't want to touch it. ok, let her clear that up firste rupert: three of the biggest protest this territory has ever seen in the space of just one week, time may be running out r hong kong's embattled chief executive. rup

the pro-democracy activists joshua wong has been released. he was supposed to express his solidarity with 2 million protesters. he has been calling for carrie lam to step down. the pro-beijing leader is under pressure to put kate the crowd of people who have taken to the streets. for more, we can cross to our reporter who is in hong kong. i want to start with the situation on the ground. it is early evening there. we know some of the huge crowds have dispersed. are therere protesters left in t streets? been several thousand protesters on the streets today. it has been raining heavily at certain points. around the legislative complex. it is closed off -- it closed off a few streets in the area. they have mostly stayed very small. most protesters are tired. the ones who remain are hard-core proteststers, young students who came out lasast wednesesday. they are more of the hard-line activists. wong was released from prison today. would he think his appearance means for this movement. movement a the needed jolt of energy. people are starting to f

will be more that said as it develops next hong kong democracy activists joshua wong has been set free he says he's joining the campaign now to stop the extradition little wong said half of the two month sentence for his role in the previous books protest the twenty fourteen is. among the protest this monday calling for the resignation of the chief executive of hong kong carrie lam not she's announced a halt. to the legislation the change on extradition bills this came as two million people took to the streets in protest this weekend. was me the further comment now steve stang whose -- director of s. away as china institute steve thank you very much me with a c. on france -- twenty four do you read what's happening now as a victory for people power in hong kong. well so far he the music was. recorded a complete victory things can you. a nasty so we still have to be what to be straight. carrie lam is standing firm of the her own position. does this mean that the extradition law is likely to be. reintroduced to go for what the suspension is just a temporary thing. yeah well i think the r

now of course the student activists joshua wong saying that carrie lam must go.ership under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue that today we have a smaller protest. but still if you look at yesterday, on sunday, according to the organisers, there were up to 2 million people on there were up to 2 million people on the streets. that is quite a lot of pressure. what we have seen so far from the government is carrie lam has only issued a written statement saying she apologise to the society. if you really drill into how it is raised in chinese itself, the phrase is apologising orjust saying sorry. people are not happy about it. just around an hourago, people are not happy about it. just around an hour ago, the protesters have been 70 metres to my best, to the chief executive office, chanting for her to come out. in order to have a dialogue with these people. obviously they have not succeeded so far. now is the time w

john, joshua wong, for viewers that are not very familiar with him or do not remember him from 2014, behind you of determination, courage, sacrifice, because in his early teens he started to be a demonstrator and protester for democratic rights in hong kong. then he was put away as a result of those 2014 umbrella protests. in a way, i suppose the leadership, the political leadership in hong kong hope to decapitate the protest movement by putting a lot of its leaders inside. but as we have seen over the past week, this movement happens even without obvious leadership? well, let's put it this way, while the government has been trailing quite a lot of protest leaders from 2014's umbrella movement, or occupy, what you want to call it, even then, it was a new style of protesting in hong kong where the protesters are more disorganised, and organise among themselves. they don't need a leader. they just liaise themselves. they don't need a leader. theyjust liaise among themselves and decide what they want to do, like what is happening now. behind me right now is led by a legislator, but many

since this article was printed, joshua wong has been released from prison, just in the last couple ofours. he was the leader, really, of this protest movement. he is calling for the resignation of carrie lam. this article talks about the fact that a government source has said to them that the bill will die a natural death without a timetable to relaunch it. they are almost hoping it will just relaunch it. they are almost hoping it willjust go away. it is hard to see what will happen next, because it would be a huge climbdown for carrie lam, as chief executive of hong kong, because she was adamant they would not remove this bill. yes, it is difficult to see how she can come out of this in a winning position. if you keep fighting for it there will be a lot more unrest on the streets, and as you said, if she does climbdown, which i think she does climbdown, which i think she will have to do in the end, because there is no way of pushing it through without huge problems, and it would be, sort of, a massive hit on her credibility. so we shall watch this space and see what happens next. let
