Calls to abandon the protests prodemocracy groups are defiant refusing to be. This week there are more relatives plant parts of the citys trying system on strike on tuesday and prodemocracy groups are holding demonstrations on friday and over the weekend its a deepening political crisis thats yet to be resolved sarah clarke aljazeera hong kong. So what began as protests over an extradition law has now turned into much more of the opposition against beijing on june the 9th an estimated 1000000. 00 people poured onto the streets to demand the government drop that bill which would allow suspects to face trial in Mainland China weeks of largely peaceful protests followed and forced the government to shell the blue chief executive carolan declared it dead but refused to withdraw it altogether protesters are also angry about Police Brutality they accuse officers of using Excessive Force and collusion with suspected gang members who attacked demonstrators at a metro station last week and for 2 weekends in a row theyve targeted the office of beijings representatives in the city demonstrators are now calling for greater democracy and political reform well lets get more on this were joined by steve environs political commentator and author of Hong Kong Chinas new colony and hes joining us live from hong kong mr bines very good to have you with us on aljazeera so what do you think the purpose of this chinese briefing was they condemned what they said was violence by protesters when those protesters accuse police of the same thing and of course that condemnation isnt going to stop hong kong as from going out every weekend does it. I very sure thats the case i think what china is doing at the moment is trying to seize control of the narrative of whats going on they only talk about violence they only talk about unlawful activities is that entire press Conference Today spend very little time in d. C. Talking about the underlying discontent in hong kong the discontent with the lack of democracy the discontent with coleading standards for the majority of the population compared with extremely good Living Standards for a very small certain population and of course they didnt talk about the enormous reach that developed between the people and the priest source which used to be very highly regarded it but now seems to be the only mechanism of the government is still functioning within in any visible way and mr vines when you talk about that mass discontent weve seen it for 8 weeks now what is it that protest is what one of the specific changes that theyre calling for when they protest against chinas growing influence in the region. I think what this is is is perhaps just take a small step backwards this is the great cry to hong kong to be allowed to have the autonomy that it was promised in 1997 when it was handed over british control people here seem to feel that that autonomy is being eroded almost by the day and when they actually additional people said oh my god this is something to do with rule of law which is absolutely call value of wrong on thats going to go to so i think that people are essentially saying is look lets do our best to preserve what is left of hong kongs autonomy and then we get into the details of what that means but theres that overwhelming feeling yeah the hong kong is being dragged into. Incorporation into what after all is a communist dictatorship and mr vines you wrote about a month ago when mr and said that the extradition bill was dead and the people of hong kong had won and that land is finished but that beijing but not take this lying down youve said that theyre trying to change the narrative beyond that what will beijing do here. Well i mean look in the background is the great spirit directs intervention the Peoples Liberation army has a large terrorist named on thats very much in the background im not suggesting theres any immediate threat so the force is being mobilized but i think what. Is in the back of everybodys mind is already you have a government that more or less only answers to beijing it doesnt have the people and theres this clinging to this hope that everything that was promised before that might possibly be realized true elections you actually have a legislature that spoke elected that sort of thing i mean these are quite ambitious objectives in the context of a Chinese State run by a very very young leader in association. Mr vines we thank you very much for your time your expertise on this that is stephen vines live in hong kong thank you. But i want to move on to other news now and doctors and so darn say 8 protesters have been shot and killed by Security Forces that happened a north quite a fan state the government there has imposed a curfew and several cities as tensions for main high High School Students and activists are protesting against the findings of an investigation into last months crackdown on a certain demonstration saddams military council is blaming a few rogue officers for the violence which the opposition says killed more than 100. 00 people but a curfew is set to go into effect in several northern cities have a morgan is monitoring developments from neighboring ethiopia.

Thank. You cant promise to boss johnson has told in here leaders that he will discuss but said only when they are ready to shift their position and if they dont johnson says russian will leave without a day of his visit and scotland for the 1st time as Prime Minister the prospect of another daily press at a strong apollos north of the border scotlands 1st minister wants another independence referendum. My sumption is that we can get a new deal way aiming for a new deal but of course michael is absolutely right that its responsible for any government to prepare for no deal if we absolutely have to match the message ive been getting across to our european friends that theres a big incentive on both sides to get this thing done and were going to come out deal or no deal on october the 31st thats going out all cost wanted nothing baba hes joining us live from edinburgh so how is Prime Minister johnsons tough talk on europe being the saved and scotland game given as 1st minister Nicola Sturgeon said the people of scotland didnt vote for bricks that they didnt vote for johnson for Prime Minister.
