us now is victor gow, from the organization of international studies. great to have you with us. first of all, do you believe the protesters in hong kong have a legitimate grievance? >> thank you for having me. first of all, i think we need to give credit to the protesters who decided to lift the blockade and leave the area surrounding the government premises. this is a good sign and other protesters will follow suit. many have legitimate reasons. the area with strong roots of rule of law. they need to do so, abiding by the law, not violating the law. many of these demonstrations are labelled as illegal by the hong kong government. i think the government has legitimate reason coming up with a characterisation. first of all, they they do not police approval. and secondly whatever demonstrations they have done, resulted in a huge amount of disruption of traffic and chaos and disruption of the daily livelihood of the people. that says, i think, that the protesters need to come up with legitimate reasons to do the protest and doing the protest by abiding by the law. >> i know there's a slight delay, the protesters say they are not allowed

hong kong. concerned about how long the protests may disrupt local businesses. >> back to you. >> thank you very much. reporting for us from hong kong. from one part of hong kong to another part. outside the chief executive's office in hong kong. the protesters have been threatening to congregate. we understand they have made their way there, but there has been a standoff with them and the police. >> that's right. it's more than a threat now, protesters have been pouring in. as you can see behind me, a lot of heads passing by. what you can see is people are sitting down. there's a call for protesters to come and stay here. across the barrier are the police. behind them is it the government complex. this is the first time we are seeing the protesters and police so close together since the police tried to break up protests on sunday using tear gas, there's a lot of concern from the protesters, that that may happen for several reasons. one mainly they have seen a column of police coming through, holding all kinds of equipment, big cans with the word riot on it, pep ever spray equipment and the protesters are preparing for tha

hong kong. tensions escalating as pro-democracy protesters are clashing with some opponents. for more, we have andrew davis joining us fromot been violent clashes in this shot. i want to ask about the nature of these protests. they turned violent when police sprayed tear gas. who is behind these anti-student protests? a very good question. the students say these are organized reactions. it's hard to say exactly who they are. are normaley citizens who want their lives back to normal. there are a lot of people who got out there very suddenly and very violently and it's raising a lot of questions. the police who had been invisible after the tear gas attack are back in the street now. this time, they are protecting the pro-democracy demonstrators from the mobs. >> interesting. instance, today, one of our reporters was out taking and latercauseway bay we saw one of the people that was confronting people in causeway bay saying he was a local business owner on the thing onoing the same the other side. that doesn't prove anything, but it's curious. from aave headlines jewelry chain. they have shut down their shops because of the

joining us from hong kong is paul zimmerman. promises were made and since been broken. you see the people speaking out. how much of a difference will the protests make? >> well, this is what we are seeing powerfully, is that the people of hong kong are expressing a clear spirit of entitlements to rights, they are theirs, they are owning and claiming them, and are claiming them in a peaceful fashion. the violence reported recently, they are an important element to keep an eye on and monitor and to be vetted by the authorities -- investigated by the authorities. it's the appearance of thugs and provoke terse, and triad connections. i don't think it's a coincidence that the triad squad have appeared. >> i have heard that the protesters have an identity crisis, why can't they identify with china, what do you make of those comments? >> i don't know what they are talking about. the hong kong protesters and demonstrators know what we are. we are hong kongers, chinese, and we are advocating for the core values of hong kong, which is respect for rule of law, fundamental rites an

andrew davis joining us from hong kong on the latest on the demonstrations that are taking place thereurning to tech to try to reverse its fortunes. the grosser has unveiled a new version of the hubble tablet today. i've got one here. my kids have got one of these, just to declare that. they've got one of the old ones. it's wider. it looks like it's got a better screen attached to it. apparently the cameras are better. the big question is, is this a device that is going to help tesco out of the hole that it's in? let's find out. let's go to our european business correspondent at the launch event. tesco need this thing to deliver? >> they certainly do. the hudl 2, i've been playing with it, it's bigger, 8.3-inch screen. it's three times faster. it's also still pretty cheap. i mean, let's face it, it's nice to look at. i think they'll probably sell more. but last year, think of the fanfare that we had with the launch of the hudl. it was a launch of a business, not just a product. yeah, the chief executive there was there, all about taking on amazon. it was about putting digital first, an

. >> joining us live now from hong kong.o the protest leaders say this they are opening to dialogue, but will dialogue achieve a resolution of this crisis? >> reporter: well, that's a good question. and that's something that the student leaders, the protest leaders at least are very hopeful that there would be some sort of success coming out of these dialogues. but at the moment, there is no indication as to when this meeting for this dialogue will happen. of course when they do meet, they have to sit down and agree on the perimeters of the dialogue. and then after that have another meeting about the dialogue. and then another meeting probably about the dialogue itself. so this dialogue is supposed to keep going on and on and on and on. at this stage, there is no indication as to when the first meeting is going to happen. and there is no indication as to how long the dialogue is going to take, which frankly has taken out the wind out of the sails of this protest. >> right. now i was going to ask you that in fact. we can see

from ebola-affected countries. let's talk more with andrew stevens. he joins us live from hong kong with more on that. there is this large debate happening all over the world. the balance between politics and science. but what is changing as far as australia's immigration policy and the way it screens at-krifk passengers? >> reporter: it's quite a dramatic step taken by the australian government. they are banning giving anyone a new visa if they are seeking to come to australia from an ebola-affected country. it's aimed at the west african countries, but the australians are not saying it is specifically those countries. what they say, for any grounds at all, humanitarian or otherwise, you will not be able to get a visa to enter australia. if you already have a visa,ly tested three separate times before you come to australia where you will be put on watch as well. and if you are an australian resident coming back to australia you will also be quarantined. so there is quite a big move from the australians. it has been met, though, with quite a lot of criticism in political circles, this decision to basi

every time the hong kong government has used forceful tactics, it meant the protesters got sympathy fromf hong kong. last sunday when they used tear gas, people turned off their televisions and immediately went to the streets to join the students. also with these try ideas on much larger than the news of these triad attacks. every time they use force, it's counter productive for bashing and the hong kong government. >> we're hoping we won't see any bloody spááp(áq >> but you can't rule anything out because for beijing, this is an extensionial threat. they are not going toÑi stay -- they're not going to let the crowds in hong kong stay there forever. >> quickly, will the u.s. keep its hands out of this for the most part? >> we've heard the white house press secretary talk about this. secretary kerry has. we probably will talk more as this drags out. >> it looks like it's going to drag out for a moment there. we're not sure how long. we can't predict. thank you very much for stopping by. >> thank you. >> hat's going to do it por me. join me for more news at the top of the hour. but right n

andrew stevens joins us live from hong kong with more on this, andrew, what do we know about this payment and how is the general public there responding to these developments? >> reporter: it was a commercial deal, errol, in 2011, the chief executive c.y. leung was the chairman of a company, a property services company here in hong kong that was bought by an australian company. under that deal he receives $6.5 million basically as a noncompete so that he wouldn't go and set up a rival company. that is all fair and aboveboard in the commercial world but what opposition spokesman people here are focusing on is the fact that the payments of that $6.4 million were made when he was the chief executive, the last payment was made in december of last year. but he did not declare those payments. now, there's no suggestion that he has done anything illegal but certainly if you look at the public relations side of this, if you look at the optics of it it doesn't look good he didn't declare what was a substantial payment while he was in this leadership position. there was also a clause in that deal t

andrew stevens joins us live from hong kong with details. good to see you again. so c.y.ved this $6.4 million payment and his office said there's nothing untoward here so what was this payment and i guess more importantly, how is it being interpreted where you are? >> reporter: well, i think it depends on who you ask on how it's being interpreted. errol, obviously the protesters, people demanding his resignation for 12 days see this as just more fuel to their fire and another good reason for the chief executive to stand down so what happened is that he was the chairman of a company which was bought by another company and under the terms of that deal, he received $6.4 million as a noncompete. it is a pretty standard business practice. he did not have to disclose it and the noncompete was that he return for him not running and starting up another company at a rival. the timing is what this is all about. he did that deal just a few days after he announced that he was going to be standing, running for the chief executive's position and at that time, errol, he wasn't kerred to
