there is a hard—core inside the polytechnic university.f hong kong carrie lam has spoken in the past couple of hours and she said she wanted to see a peaceful solution to this stand—off and said she was worried the polytechnic university had become basically a weapons factory for things like petrol—bombs and so on. if there are protesters under the age of 18, she said that would not be charged if they surrendered although she did say their names and information would be taken. it is a steel quite tense on the whole in hong kong. remember, we have district council elections coming up on the weekend. carrie lam said these elections would be postponed if there is continuing violence and has repeated that threat in the last 24 has repeated that threat in the last 2a hours. that could make things worse. there is no sign that the protesters are going to come up with any form of truce over the next few days but it is a bit of a blow that the siege at the polytechnic university is ending as it has. andrew, thank you for now. geoff is a protester s

so this is the polytechnic university this crossroads over there has been blocked and over there there is a tunnel one of the 3 tunnels that cross over to hong kong island it has been blocked since monday on monday the protesters from the university the students blocked the tunnel and have then occupied the university in there they have been manufacturing petrol bombs that have been parading around pose and arrows one police officer was hit in earlier clashes today by an arrow the police have come to clear the barricades outside they have deployed water cannons and. tear gas and rubber bullets they were met with with molotov cocktails now that the water canon in hong kong is something very special it's different from water cannons in other countries because it has not only water inside but also pepper solution that is highly irritating and that is very painful so they advance there they've sprayed protesters who have locked the road with pepper spray we have seen people over there who were whose skin were burning one reporter and also a few protesters and other people. and it seems to

. 0k. to hong kong polytechnic university. start off prince 0k. let's start off with our chat. prince andrew and the times, standing by his interview.” prince andrew and the times, standing by his interview. i think if his interview went really well, you wouldn't have to make a case it was the right thing to do. this interview that aired on newsnight on saturday night didn't go that well. although everyone closed him was taken aback by his lack of remorse, it seemed, like his tone deafness, et cetera, they think that at least everything's out there, that he's got his side across, and he has had a long time to speak about his version of events. he was apparently so version of events. he was apparently so pleased about how it went that he gave the crew of newsnight a tour around buckingham palace afterwards. so in his mind he wasn't tripped up by questions, it wasn't a harsh interrogation. it wasn't edited wrongly, none of that stuff. so he's happy. lucy, the article basically says he insisting it was the right thing to do. mayb

there is still a stand—off at the polytechnic university of hong kong.but what i read from the local public broadcaster is that they have been told by the acting president of the student union, saying at least 500 stu d e nts student union, saying at least 500 students still stay inside the campus. some try to come out a few hours ago but they were then faced with tear gas from the police as well as arrest. so it is not quite clear at this moment if the police really wa nt clear at this moment if the police really want to let the students go 01’ really want to let the students go or do they simply want to arrest every single one inside. has anyone been able to speak to any protesters still inside to find out what they are now demanding? some representatives, student representatives, student representatives from the student union are distancing themselves from the protesters but still saying in connection with them, somehow in communication with them say that there are many injuries inside the campus. we also saw pictures of first daters and doctors being

we know that the police have atd tear gas in the pat here polytechnic university which is just across victoria harbour from where we are right now, at the entrance to the central harbor tunnel. there has been a tense standoff for many days at that university. the last week on friday, many daylong standoff between protesters and police at the chinese university further opt into the new territories, it actually ended fairly abruptly when the protesters stood down. this standoff, though, does not seem to be ending. the protesters are standing their ground. hardened battle lines on both signs. andeard early this morning a facebook live statement from police that the police will use force more aggressively, including the possibility of using live ammunition, live rounds, if there dispersal operation at polytechnic university is met with increased violence. so it is definitely a standoff right now. fires have been set as we have this live footage from polytechnic university. right now we do not know how this will transpire over this dispersal operation. shery: of course you are in the centr

robert godden is a human rights activist who's been watching events unfold at the polytechnic universityave been here for 16 hours now and we arrived yesterday evening when we saw running battles between the protesters here where i am standing now and the police just over at thejunction. it was an exchange of water cannon fire and petrol—bombs. hired me on the bridge, a fierce battle took place earlier where the protesters managed to disable one of the armoured personnel carriers that the police have with the amount of petrol—bombs they hit. they hit the apc with. that went on through the night until there was a lull at about four o'clock and it wasn't until five that the water cannons began firing again as a distraction, we believe, for when the raptors, as they're called came in with other police in a surprise predawn attack and drove the protesters back into the campus. several hundred protesters came down the steps of the main campus building behind me here and it looked like they were going to actually try and fight their way out. so there are police cordons all the way around here.
