we have multiple teams covering events in hong kong rob mcbride was out a few hours ago amongst the protesters in hong kong. this is where the march has come to an end the government's main office complex and also the legislative council building many thousands of protesters have been streaming away from here to go home but many thousands more have been staying on in fact so many they've now spilled out onto this main highway completely blocking it this is cool road which 5 years ago was at the very center of the occupy movement so symbolically it's very important for hong kong's pro-democracy activists important that they occupied at least for a few hours on this very important evening for the moment there are no signs of any police they do appear to be keeping a very low profile allowing the protesters here to be very much in control at the moment after a 5 year we don't see that people are getting down but increasingly we are getting too old hat our own freedom we do you think the government here is listening to people and he's having. yeah sol i come here to support them every day and i wa

so how does all of this look from the south korean capital seoul here's our correspondent rob mcbride this is being seen as a major personal achievement for president moon j.n. of south korea who's been under increasing pressure since the failure of the hanoi summit both here at home and also from north korea throughout the events of sunday he tactfully remain very much at the sidelines allowing donald trump to claim credit for this historic day in reality though he is seen as being the instigator of this process of reconciliation if the day's events of stepping across the border is seen by the end of this year as one of the new. whose highlights of 2019 then it will be remembered the moon j.n. did exactly the same last year becoming the news highlight of $2800.00 starting this whole process that has led to donald trump crossing over the border but as he always has done throughout this whole process of south korea very much giving full credit to donald trump. you know what we really want is permanent peace on the korean peninsula mr trump will be going down in history as the president

protesters fear could lead to the targeting of beijing's critics let's get the latest now from rob mcbride who is live for us in hong kong so rob is there a sense there now the attempt both sides are essentially regrouping in preparation for what could be another confrontation later. i think so there is a sense that both sides if you like are taking a breather standing back seeing what comes next as you mentioned that the protesters themselves have kept a very low profile today thursday there have been small groups milling around vaguely students around this area that is where we have located the legislative council and government offices the scene of the siege of wednesday and all those violent clashes but under the scrutiny of a very large police presence we have been witnessing stop and search of some of these students the police very making efforts make to make sure that nobody is going to start any sudden type of demonstration i think it also has to be said that the downpours of rain that we've seen throughout the day of also kept people away from this area had also i think there's an

so as we said 1 in the morning there things may be quietening down but rob mcbride was out amongst the protesters earlier and he brought us this report. this is where the march has come to an end the government's main office complex and also the legislative council building many thousands of protesters have been streaming away from here to go home but many thousands more have been staying on in fact so many they've now spilled out into this main highway completely blocking it this is cool road which 5 years ago was at the very center of the occupy movement so symbolically it's very important for hong kong's pro-democracy activists important that they occupied at least for a few hours on this very important evening for the moment there are no signs of any police they do appear to be keeping a very low profile allowing the protesters here to be very much in control at the moment after a 5 year we don't see that people are getting down but increasingly we are getting to know what hat our own for you know we do you think the government here is listening to people and have they said yeah so

trial so activists say they will still go ahead with another planned protest for sunday more from rob mcbride in hong kong. after insisting for weeks that she wouldn't and couldn't back down hong kong's leader kerry lamb came out to say she was doing just that i now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercice the government's attempt to push the legislation through hong kong's parliament the legislative council has led to the biggest street protests this city has seen in decades and violence between a minority of protesters and police who on wednesday used tear gas and rubber coated bullets to disperse a largely peaceful occupation of the streets. the 80 also injuries very minor care in general in minor injuries we have seen may be replaced by very serious injuries . to my police colleagues and to ordinary citizens whether they are very fierce protesters are just ordinary students joining a protest i don't want any of that injuries to happen critics argue the change in the law could be used to extradite opponents of beijing to the mainland where they c

but 1st let's go to rob mcbride in seoul where trump has visited the blue house official residence of moon j. and rob so we had this tantalizing prospect of president meeting the north korean leader at the d.m.z. kids but there's been some dialogue to make this happen but it will be pretty historic won't it. absolutely there's been increasing speculation here daryn that this will indeed take place as it's been mentioned now by donald trump and also by moon jay and about the possibility as you heard there. in the president of south korea saying that this would be historic and also the prospect that this might be a 3 way meeting that president moon would accompany president trump even more tantalizing prospect would be of course that all 3 then meet together on that famous line between the blue huts of pam and john that's what the speculation is leading towards the speculation here in south korean media has been fueled by the conspicuous absence of stephen began he's the special advisor from the u.s. on the korean affairs he wasn't at the reception last saturday evening that was held he

streets can't change her mind they have little faith in the consultation process she's now promising rob mcbride al jazeera hong kong. we spoke to address fold a little bit earlier who is a senior fellow at the university of nottingham asia research institute and he told us china's policy to erode colonial laws over time may have backfired this time certainly i think what has happened over the past decade or so is that the chinese coast party has really played a long game they knew that they couldn't change the system overnight so they have engaged in what would what i would call like selective decolonization so they changed the education system tried to push back the mostly christian groups that were running the curriculum they've also crippled in a way the legislative council which is the parliament of hong kong but. perhaps the unintended consequence of this process of decolonization is that the political institutions really don't work anymore and they don't produce leadership and so for example she used to be a civil servant she was selected by the probating establishment so she was never st

streets can't change her mind they have little faith in the consultation process she is now promising rob mcbride al jazeera hong kong. well. previous protests have taken place in hong kong and why many say these are a different. in 1997 when hong kong was handed over from british control to china agreements were made certain liberties were to stay until 2047 like freedom of speech and an independent judiciary. but under president xi jinping beijing has rapidly exerted more mainland power over hong kong a move to change the electoral system in 2014 brought thousands of students onto the streets and what became known as the umbrella movement they occupied central hong kong for 11 weeks in leicestershire was one of the leaders and several of his fellow leaders are serving prison sentences right if you go to visit them and he's now an assistant to a pro-democracy member of the legislative council with widespread public opposition to the government's push for a new law allowing extradition to mainland china he says the current protests are very different to what happened 5 years ago when we had the u

last hour hour and a half or expecting more of that throughout the night but let's take a look at rob mcbride's report of how the day has unfolded so far. if the home call the government made it back down would keep people at home this was hong kong's azza. protesters filled the length of the route of the march and spilled over into adjoining streets ah well be full the shade you will start time the crowds began fooling at the starting point they say hong kong's freedoms within china are being further eroded and a calling on the chief executive kerry led him to quit and we will not stop until we get through democracy in hong kong because even in parallel is that the system is still unfair we do not have through the monthly real we do not have. most protests. his will black to show their anger towards lam and the hong kong police and many carried white flowers in memory of a man who fell to his death the night before the march while putting up a protest banner. the incident adding to a sense of bitterness towards a government they say doesn't listen to them i don't think the government isn't tha

let's go live now to rob mcbride is live for us from the south korean capital seoul so rob a lot was riding on this for the south korean president moon jay in you think is breathing something of a sigh of relief at this point. i think they'll be delighted by this but yes i think also tinge to with a sense of relief that it did indeed take place president moon j.n. of south korea has been feeling the heat some water especially in recent weeks and months we've seen a deterioration of relations some of the old rhetoric of old and some of that rhetoric directed at south korea in fact it was only a few days ago after moon j.n. had been saying how he wanted to intercede once more an actor's an intermediary he was basically told by north korean controlled state media to stay out of it that we don't need anybody else if we want to negotiate with the united states we can do it by ourselves thank you very much indeed so i think moon j.n. will be very pleased by this he has very much stayed in the sidelines throughout this historic afternoon we just heard at the little briefing that he gave the

but 1st let's go to rob mcbride in seoul where trump and moon jane will hold a joint press conference a little bit later rob so we have this tantalizing prospect of trouble briefly meeting the north korean leader at the d.m.z. clearly there there has been work to make this happen and it'll be pretty historic . yeah absolutely daryn it's the big question here is just how unexpected this has all been and how spontaneous or indeed whether there's been an awful lot of work in advance to make this happen and this has been planned for some time we really don't know but there has been increasing speculation that yes we are likely to see an historic event this sunday afternoon on the korean peninsula speculation has been mounting in the local media here with reports of south korean and u.s. officials meeting overnight with their current north korean counterparts on the d.m.z. the speculation has been fueled of course by both moon j.n. and donald trump themselves they have been beaten for ready a summit at the blue house a working lunch we are now waiting for a press conference after that as y

traitors have said they remain committed to preventing the government from bringing the bill into law rob mcbride joins us now from hong kong so rob the hong kong government is saying that the change is necessary and that the bill has to be passed but it this comes just as a senior government member seems to have hinted that a delay may be needed to head off a further conflict what more you hearing about that. that's right hasn't this comes from the channel he is a senior member of the hong kong government and also a senior advisor to carry land the chief executive speaking on the radio program friday morning here when he said that in the light of the violence that we've seen around the legislative council the mini parliament this been discussing these controversial changes that that council it's impossible for them to have a rational discussion that maybe there should be a delay for further consultation now this is just one member of the government his comments but it does come from a government. normally has a very tightly controlled message it's difficult to see how he would make such a statem

alive now to rob mcbride in south korea's capital this was something of a spur of the moment decision from the u.s. president as we've come to expect from him this invitation any likelihood at this point that it will actually happen given the small window that he has and the fact that the north koreans haven't actually replied officially. absolutely has i'm spontaneous and as we don't as we know north korea just doesn't do spontaneous trump has now arrived here in seoul he is the guest of president mungy and having dinner at the presidential compound and you can bet that the topic of conversation that will be dominating around the dinner table will be exactly what happens tomorrow sunday because as of this hour middle of saturday evening we on the outside the journalists other observers simply have no idea about how and what will pan out tomorrow and i rather suspect many of the actors on the inside the main protagonists the main players don't know quite how this is all going to work tomorrow either given this off the cuff spontaneous invitation a tweet from president trump saturday m
