Protesters forced the government to back down the fight isnt over as of yet later on sunday they will take to the streets once again calling for the proposal to be scrapped entirely the bill would allow criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China the protesters also want the resignation of hong kong as leader kerry lamb still wants the bill to be passed sometime in the future the protesters also want to apologize for the violence during process earlier in the week the police had fired rubber bullets on some demonstrators muslim says force had become necessary bright now from hong kong after insisting for weeks that she wouldnt and couldnt back down hong kongs leader carry lamb came out to say she was doing just that i now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercise. The governments attempt to push the legislation through hong kongs 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 generally minor injuries we have seen may be replaced by very serious injuries. To my Police Colleagues and to ordinary citizens whether they are very few years protesters are just ordinary students joining the protests i dont 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 could face summary trial in chinas courts why oh there you know. 7 was that lamb insists the change in the law is needed her opponents are angry that the initiative is only suspended and not withdrawn altogether some say you know you go on carry lamb says she will stop stabbing and shes refused to take out the knife and we know if she pushes the knife further she will pierce the heart of the hong kong people. They accuse lamb of being a puppet of the Central Government in beijing but china insists that hong kong matters are a purely chinese internal affair and not for outsiders to interfere in and lamb has its full support prodemocracy groups have called for her to quit especially because she has sided with the police whom they accuse of using Excessive Force to disperse crowds they have called for even more people to protest on sunday. Than will be hoping the suspension of the controversial bill will reduce the level of anger and numbers of protesters. We will adopt the most sincere and humble attitude just sapped criticisms and make improvements so that we can continue to connect with the people of hong kong but many here believe kerry lamb is only backing down now because shes afraid of more violence and they say if a 1000000 people in the streets cant change her mind they have little faith in the consultation process shes now promising rob mcbride al jazeera hong kong. Ok joining us live here on the news is china analyst and drew young in Hong Kong Andrew welcome back to aljazeera why are the demonstrators pushing ahead with this anyway. Well because where is the reasons a i think the government has lost our little trust with the heat or the attempt to rush it through the lens of the concert where the government counts on is all and weve got lots of the sentiments on that in the streets. So really we got the lack of empathy to what the mozilla public fear and are concerned with about also played out what is the god of the insincerity so i think that im still the bit of anger left out there and of course that the opposition parties. Is of course saying because the elections are coming up and then they lost their one 3rd of blocking vote in the letters over the past year or so because of that this is horrific. Some of their members so that they want to cover their ground. And end it on a National Concern around the world so theyre capitalizing on this momentum as well so i think that you can see this is a company where he. Buys into confidence. And when you talk about this coming to a head if todays demonstrations are as big as the demonstrators claim they might be how will that be viewed in beijing. Well attempt to hold down the temperature because. Even though there are those that isnt it up there then because most people in hong kong are the majority of the young young people and you can see the massive demonstration last sunday before. They there was very little. Asians or look at this as the big asians what they what they fear is that this is a game changer it is really more than the fire wall that separates the. Stiction the laws on the across the other side the laws factors involved on under one country this is what is your analysis and just interrupt you for a 2nd under whats your analysis of the current relationship between kerry lamb and the government in beijing because this is not a complete absolute u. Turn on her part but its definitely a partial u. Turn. Well we come to think of it actually you look at it as the vacations even though the. First reason some people regard that as an experience is that taiwan further case that one is not so well were not going to war with this legislation anyway so that reason of course away and then that what we may start it was the pace of the buffett oh the home for the vending hong kong not being able to to maybe go to the sunday mail and all the sort of those. There are estimates that Something Like 300 of the early hong kong and some of them are up problems for b. J. And so obviously back. Carolyn station. Perhaps is. Also supports in rushing this flu so i think back carry it out. Even though i think that both sides are learning a bit less. Something authentic it. Cannot be transferred to the struggles of people. And really young thank you very much.

The complete withdrawal of an extradition bill and an apology from the chief executive in Hong Kong Carol lam. U. S. President donald trump has accused the New York Times of treason after it reported the u. S. Is increasing Cyber Attacks against russia now the article quotes former and serving Government Officials who say the u. S. Hacked the russian power grid the report says that all this is part of an aggressive Cyber Campaign partly in retaliation for interference in the 20000. 00 u. S. Midterm elections the us president has denied the allegations christian salumi monitoring that story for us out of washington here on the news are christian what else is in this article has generated such president ial anger there in the states. Well peter the article doesnt go into a lot of specifics about what actions are being taken by the pentagons Cyber Command unit rather it describes increasing attacks in the world in the realm of cyber on the power grid in russia and other potential targets and moving from a more defensive strategy in the cyber round to a more offensive strategy and the article does quote but does not name its sources inside of the government but what they are reporting seems to be supported by some comments that were made by National Security adviser john bolton in the last week where he described taking a broader view of potential targets as a way to send a message to russia he said or to anyone who might be trying to interfere with the United Statess cyber realm so specular speculation is that officials were actually talking to the New York Times reporters as a way to send that message and the article actually talks about that that this may be a way the reason theyre willing to share this information is because they want to send a message to russia and others whats interesting about the president s response is that in the last Year Congress and the white house itself expanded the powers of cyber cyber unit so that they can act without president ial approval approval only has to come from the department of defense so while president tribes says what the times is reporting is not true the article quotes unnamed sources saying that they were reluctant to share too much of this information with the president because theyre worried about how he would react and maybe he would Say Something to the wrong people so take that for what you well but the president of course saying that this is treasonous information and its not true and its maybe worth remembering as well chris and i guess that as far as public consumption is concerned domestically and internationally mr trump clearly has he in his mind a Good Relationship with the kremlin one remembers the summit in helsinki when remembers the 2 closed door meeting when there was nobody else in the room apparently. Absolutely and so. Again Congress Gave the Cyber Command these extra powers we have the moller report now which goes into detail about election meddling in the 2016 president ial election there were attacks and the 2018 midterms theres been reports of spying on u. S. Power grids and other actions taken by russia in the United States so with all of this leading up to 2020 and worries about more interference and more problems arising as a result of russian hacking the United States is clearly ramping up its response and trying to send a message that theyre not going to tolerate it and that theyre poised to respond as well christine thanks so much.
