both the legislative council and especially the executive council are not entirely returned by universal council is elected by universal suffrage only half of it, only half of it is by universal suffrage. the chief executive who selects him or herself, the members of the executive council, that is elected by 1200 people only. so when protesters are asking for universal suffrage, what they mean is the universal suffrage of the legislative council and of the executive council, which are the ones that have the real power to govern the city. so, if those local counsellors, as you mention, have such little power, why does this weekend was my collection matter? they matter for, most importantly, because as you said in the introduction, this is a first test after six months of increasingly violent protests to gauge what the situation is and what the population feels both about the pro—establishment camp and about the newer candidates that come, mostly from the pro—democracy and even protesters' damp in some cases. so many people have been describing the selection is a referendum on the governme

yes, i've always been in favour of electing both the chief executive and the whole of the legislative councill, thank you for being so clear. in that case, you're on the side of the protesters, you're not on the side of beijing, because there is no way that under the current governance of carrie lam, who of course has her hands tied by china, there's no way that the hong kong government is going to grant a meaningful universal suffrage with a truly representative range of candidates for chief executive and full, universal suffrage for the legislative council. it's just not happening. as far as the chief executive is concerned, under the law, even for electing the chief executive by universal suffrage, there has to be a nomination mechanism. there has to be a nominating committee so in order to achieve that ultimate goal, i think we need to talk to beijing because ultimately beijing has a vested interest in hong kong. we need to elect beijing, have sufficient confidence in electoral democracy in hong kong. of course, we know that... with respect, you know as well as i do, and it would be nice

and 6 seats in the legislative council are related to the district council only district council is can nominate candidates for election and sole it will be very important eve if many of the seats are won by democracy candidates and even more importantly in the chief executive election committee which only has $1200.00 seats but $170.00 will be will come from the district council it's so if whoever controls and what and how of the seats then maybe they can get their $117.00 seats and that of course would be a big worry for the government and for beijing. ok that leads me on to where i want to go because i want to try to understand a little bit more about the overall power what you've just described here is how a balance could change and how that could be a concern but still you know carol lam chief executive appointed by beijing she has beijing's woman there in beijing still in many ways has has the overall say. yes of course but as i said the chief executive is chosen by a committee of 1200 people and out of 120170 chose the district chance of this they elect amongst them self's

legislative council that century hong kong's parliament and a number of district councils will then be put on the body the committee that appoints the chief executive going forward so if you speak to pro-democracy candidates here they'll tell you that any gains that they may make will be a more significant step to shaping the future in hong kong the you've been covering the protests and often the violence for weeks and months now do you get a sense that there might be more of that today. with the weeks ahead of this they have been marred by some of the worst violence that we've seen over the last 6 months the days ahead of this vote they have been there's been an easy calm have been hearing on pro-democracy groups and speaking to people who have been saying they want to try and keep this is calm as possible so as not to give authorities an excuse to call off the election they have been threatening to cancel all suspended if violent clashes continued here saying that they simply wouldn't be able to hold the vote as it stands it is extremely peaceful here so far but of course it is caref

you also hold a significance that's because 6 district counselors will be able to join the legislative council hong kong's parliament and 'd $117.00 district councils will be part of the committee that will appoint the next chief executive so despite the fact is to count selections are usually more local community based elections they do on a practical level have some sway albeit limited on the future of hong kong you are talking charlotte earlier about about the weekend protests which have been going on for months now often with violence is there any risk or sign of that today so far. there's been a lull in violence snake in the days leading up to this election there's been a lot of concern on both sides that this they would be cooled off if there were more violent clashes on the street in fact the thirty's here had threatened to either council completely or suspend this vote so it has been quiet we've seen a lot of messages on pro-democracy chants people not to take to the streets so they can they can take that battle to the ballot box they can cost. seeing people pro-democracy think is not

it sets a wreck already these are higher than the previous highest total that was during a legislative council election that's hong kong's many parliament that took place 3 years ago when 58 percent of the electorate voted so 66 percent an hour and a half ago had voted some predictions point to that by by the time the polling stations of close maybe 70 percent of people here will have cast a vote in these local elections you have to remind yourself that this is just a local election but obviously it is far more than that given the way that all of the voters the population here is being fired up politically because of the times that we've been living through here and didn't vote for just ration did increase in the lead up to this ballot and not could in fact be significant in terms of the gains or losses when the count begins. that's right hundreds of thousands of especially young people have made sure that they are registered in the run up to this there was all sorts of social media chats going on telling people how to vote because people simply hadn't gone into a polling station before so how

with beatty from beijing they say the disqualification of democracy icon joshua wong from the legislative council elections is politically motivated and shows that hong kong's autonomy and freedom is being squeezed. protests today and pakistan where tens of thousands of people are demonstrating against the government and calling on prime minister in long tongue to resign people involved in the so-called freedom march has gathered in islamabad after arriving from towns across the country the group led by a conservative opposition party is angry over pakistan's faltering economy and imran khan's leadership have given him 2 days to step down but he's refused to allow high has the latest from the capital. a day that 2nd broad day most of the protesters are living on the roadside making their own bread and whatever they can find in order to get by most of these people appalled me but who have traveled from all over boggart on from baluchistan province from the khyber book to the wall from the punjab and even interior of then prague and most of these people say that they will stand behind their leader

forward in the way that its government governed so 6 district counselors will be able to join the legislative council hong kong's parliament if you like going forward as well number dozens of these district councils will then join the committee which will appoint the chief executive next time around so pro-democracy candidates really see this as one of the district councils don't have a huge amount of power it is a step for them if they do make gains in the right direction you've been there for weeks and months covering the weekend demonstrations occasionally marred by violence is there any fear of reoccurring today. yeah the weeks leading up to this election was some of the most violent that we've seen it with in this whole of 5 over 5 months pro democracy movement of the days ahead of it was quite quiet there was an uneasy calm here in hong kong we were seeing and hearing from pro-democracy activists that they wanted to do you keep the peace here they didn't want to give the authorities a reason to council suspend these elections so they have been calm the scene on social media groups they've been

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 minister he couldn't cheat on his government was recently ousted because all the alleged corruption now whoever wins will have no executive power but could have a significant influence over the future direction of the c
