A huge number of police cars as well as armed police on foot we were moving in. So. Looking after leaving big clash right so. We certainly could and as we saw the arrests that was ramping it up there was a y. Of of of harpers im not quite high profile very high profile prodemocracy members who were arrested and that certainly was an indication that the police are looking to ramp up and trying to put an end to what has been going on for 13 weekends now with 13 weeks and this is an indication of how seriously theyre taking this but weve had a number of religious the Council Members thats you know politicians who also arrested 2 of those about 2 of the 3 have now been released but this level of brought place moving straight into central this is certainly an indication of how seriously the plates are treating this particular this weekend of protests all right sara bear with. Awesome but i ask you this i know its raining we appreciate the effort youre putting in but were looking at pictures of whats going on a little further down from where it was right now plenty of smoke did look like we had some flames going on near a section of the fence i wonder if we could get those pictures up again and assumably thats where the riot police are heading right now so. Maybe in the next. Few minutes we might actually see some activity that would be interesting to watch while the right police try to do they try to disperse these protesters and push them away from the legislative building all do they simply try and called naafi area and stop the protesters from advancing any further closer to the legislative building which is often been the Center Focal Point for a lot of these protests. That we are watching. Those riot Police Moving down the street going towards where we believe to be the legislative buildings where we want to go. And waiting to see what happens. There these are quite incredible scenes sara because this is the 13th week of this. And we dont have sarah with us right now. Lets. Lets just take a minute to try and take in everything that weve seen developing in the last few minutes specially for those viewers who are just joining us. Its a Rainy Weather day in hong kong. A day after a campaign of arrests. A day in which there was a ban on mass rallies and yet were looking at thousands of people who have come out to hold protests in a very sensitive area. Around the legislative building very close also to the child. These garrison is a variation on. The we saw protesters and we saw some smoke around protesters. And then we watched a little further down the road while police arrive. Theyve been shooting the police have been shooting water cannon and die assumably to market protests. Might be to. Further arrests coming. I. Think we now have one day with us lets see if we can bring wayne into this and get him so wayne we saw a few moments ago of right more riot police arriving whats going on. Well yes what we can show you right now as we just get into a secure position here a semi is riot Police Moving down from this end of the road. And you can see them right there they this was just a few moments ago full of protesters and they were being heavily bombarded with tear gas and like i mentioned before we did see some other forms of weapons used bean bag rounds which theyve used here over the course of the last 3 months and perhaps rubber coated bullets as well as want to show you this way this is the building of attention you see the whites in blue plastic barricades that have been in place really since july 1st after that storming of ledge co as its known basically hong kongs parliament by the protesters so this is why this area is sensitive today so the protesters came looking marching around peacefully for the last few hours in different parts of hong kong they came to the Legislative Council and stopped and thats when the tension started so theres an overpass here as well so the protesters were up there they were down here firing or throwing rather rocks and bricks into the lead some of the Council Buildings where there was a heavy Police Presence these guys want to come through here pretty. Swiftly well just make sure we get out of their way safely. Behind us where were walking towards and well show you that soon hopefully there are still raw still protests as they are still camped out there this is being quite a stubborn effort from the protesters i have to say compared with what we have seen in the past and were just going to keep moving down here if youll stick with us sammy the reason i say its being stubborn because i think we referred to it before in the past. You know theyve come to a place like this apart from july 1st when they attacked the building itself that was a bit different but in other parts of the city there tended to come to a location stay there for a while block streets and then the police will move in fairly quickly and clear the scene away in the protesters and retreat not necessarily go home but theyll go to another part of the city and try the same thing again perhaps in smaller numbers today it seems to have been different the protest is. Set on this road for quite some time and really continued to fight with the riot police who are behind those barricades for the most part and were firing back at them with those to get rounds and other things water cannon as well further down there there are still thousands of protesters i can see them in the distance they are starting to move away i dont think we should suggest that this is the end of it because we had huge numbers on the streets today to say mostly peaceful marching around the city certainly blocking roads because there were so many of them but i think too early again to say this is over because there are so many of them still on the streets i heard you talking about the before i can confirm that petrol bombs were thrown from the protest is into the Legislative Council compound this is a relatively new tactic we saw a few petrol bombs thrown by the protest is last weekend and that was one of the Reasons Police said that they denied permission to todays rally to take place todays march right in the heart of Hong Kong Island because the so many build. A high rise building its so heavily populated that they said that the petrol bombs was a new technique by the protesters and that was one of the reasons they said that it could not take place and weve seen them throwing them into that compound in the last hour or so well is that still going on is this one of we witnessing you know kind of a big clash developing here. Well i think over the past hour we saw a very big clash going let me sign and let me jump in let me jump in and just tell you on the right hand of the screen what weve gone full screen now weve got pictures of people jumping over a barrier i dont know if you can see that wind are we to assume that people have now got over the barrier that was in front of the legislative building and theyre about to try and storm into the building again is perhaps if you can. You can see whats going on you can explain toss what we might be going to carry on. I counted them. I cant at the moment but why i suspect that the. Only way. That might lead protesters i guess dispersing away i assume it is the right police come then perhaps if we manage design so become things going on youre probably referring. Sure it is a very confusing situation these things tend to happen very very quickly and i think if we look down this way you can see the people in the distance down there that is the protesters perhaps that you were referring to so it looks like that rich that were treated off into the distance there. Away from this part of the Legislative Council buildings riot police still stationary behind us here they continue to push down the street a little bit then stopping for a while but the for the moment this area where we saw all those battles taking place. For the moment its clear we. Are speeding now were actually had come up to where i was side of the screen they way in where they the protesters seem to be taking sections of the famous and setting up some kind of defensive position so i guess this is the protesters digging in right now and reorganizing themselves. That could possibly be will continue to walk down this way if you can stick without pictures well sammy just in case the area youre talking about is further down here this Legislative Council complex is huge to Big Government buildings it takes up basically a whole block so this again was where that battle took place where walking now away from the riot police at this in towards the remaining protesters and i say remaining lightly because its not like this just a few of them there are still thousands on the streets i cant see the area that youre referring to but. Up here and if we turn the corner list we may not have time for that right now but that is the area where they went into the Parliament Building on july the 1st so that could be part of the complex where theyre attempting to go and again again i cant see that no evidence of it just yet i just want to repeat though that even though the syria is clear there is a huge crowd still down here. A lot of noise. And i suspect that they probably formulating a plan now theyve been very fluid as weve been reporting time and time again its an ongoing and when it comes to the planet ill be looking at the social media if were going to her mind ourselves you know this kind of started or flamed when there were plans to try and push a bill for extradition to Mainland China. Is this still about extradition to china by the way while im talking here we definitely see the protest is carrying wheelbarrows full of looks like stones and rubble theyre pushing fences along looks like theyre digging in for something big. Well youre right i mean this did start. Back in june as a protest against the extradition bill that would which would have allowed those criminal suspects from hong kong to be sent to Mainland China to face the court system there the court system that has Something Like a 99 percent. Conviction rate so no one in hong kong wants to see that so thats how this started but it is going way beyond that now it is about chinese influence its about the future of this territory its about the young people of this territory of this city wanting to take control of that of the future because you know weve been saying this from day one semi really these for the most part the protest is a very young theyre in the very early twentys a lot of them even younger teenagers and you know remembering that that period of one country 2 systems comes to an end in 2047 these guys will just be in their fortys perhaps a 50 some of them younger then and they are worried about what it means after that what will hong kong look like so its become about much more than the extradition bill its become about universal suffrage they want to say in voting for the chief executive other members of. Parliament ethically effectively the politicians use it in this very building that theyve attacked today so. Its become about a lot more than just the extradition bill now semi all right thanks so much wang lets go to sarah hughes on the other side of the riot police lets see if we can there we go so whats the situation looking like there looks like more calm and there. Is certainly is more common sounds like winds behind me directly behind me on the. Side which is where will the protests is gathering be dispersed where will the place moved in so were certainly on the the side behind them it looks like theyre actually taking off they putting down their shields and mosques which is an indication that theyre having some downtime for now but by no means as you heard one high saying that there are still thousands of them on the streets but not the 10s of thousands we saw earlier where we were was it was completely. By about protesters of every generation. As one also mentioned the young radical elements that theres a smaller minority of the younger all. To protest if you start out like that not and these are the ones who are certainly Challenging Police with regards these confrontations and certainly defiant they started on the streets despite the push by police to remove them but you know weve got thousands of police here police vans the whole way down behind you in front of. You mention this whole area behind me on my right hand side thats the entire village of council building. That building is massive and weve got the chief Government Office which is where kerry land presides that spain offices and as i mentioned as well the chinese army thats they mind saying today it is a very politically sensitive and i protected area here in Central Hong Kong but what i see in front of me is there knowing that there are no protesters in front of me again weve got wind behind me so from that direction which is to the east thats where the protesters have dispersed in front of me the entire streets right here have been cleared its mine the press of course the place we have in this front line right behind me but just because they put their masks and shields down doesnt mean its finished. As we know from the last 13 weeks on these protests is will continue to push the boundaries between. Pushing the police back and angry with the police theyre also angry with the government so certainly theyre scared machines. That continue through the night by some brilliant reporting there by. To correspondents and away they. Just stop for you whats been happening weve seen some really tense scenes between protesters whove been gathering despite the police ban weve seen the right Police Deployed weve seen tear gas shot at them water cannon and die weve seen what appears to be as well the protesters perhaps throwing trying to throw petrol bombs towards some of the fencing around the legislative buildings led to the center of what seems to be the center right now of that tension clashes more right police being deployed and were waiting to see how this develops further but it does seem like the protesters are simply regrouping digging in commandeering parts of the fence and getting ready perhaps for another round today. Now lets take you to india where nearly 2000000 people have been excluded from a citizens register and. They could be left stateless as a result theyll have to prove theyre not foreigners or face detention the National Register of citizens was created in 1951 to determine who came to the state before neighboring bangladesh declared independence from pakistan or some state is now on high alert with extra Security Forces being deployed. Priyanka gupta joins us from goa hati in assam states that must be a lot of concern amongst those people who are not on the run. Absolutely sabi its been almost 6 hours since the update to find and this was published online people have been putting in a unique codes given to them to figure out whether or not they are in the on that this or theyve been excluded nearly 2000000 people that are on the executed list even some people who say that their parents or they probably members are on the list but they are along with the simply of you can speak to the people we spoke to audio for our reports in different parts of assad and they say that some of the family members are on the list and some are and so theres a lot of confusion right now a lot of inside see among people the choice to bet is very clear the government has said that they can appeal to different foreigners tribunals about 200 of them are going to be operational very very soon and that number could go up to 1000 nobody has been declared stateless so nobody has been denied the citizenship just to get its only these or no tribunals that can finally decide the question of citizenship how often these people have 120 days to appeal in these tribunals and if they get a good thing that got a fair verdict that they can or they can stay with it if they want to challenge the board to form the tribe you know they can go to the high court had also the Supreme Court but at the homes of the maharishi is the word that in this trip the people the people from the march to the laws of muslim communities of asylum who are completely left in the lurch they dont have the means to travel to all these tribunals up skip with the actual art lose lose a days pay check to go to these tribunals many of them happy boring money to go to a nazi Verification Centers to submit their papers theyre not fully aware of the documents that are needed that several clerical errors that have been that we have seen during the process odd. There is a lot of confusion about what they intend to do but it is a tarp or said the end of it nobody seems to be happy all the Political Party leaders we spoke into in assam are happy and the marginalised and the poorest people of assam want to let you know a list of excluded people seem to be worst affected. The land is ever changing and these river islands of asylum the rivers can swallow up one area and leave another exposed for the people who live here it means they have to be ready to move. Gentle up than is 83 he and his family have been displaced 8 times 6 of them were left out of a sense draft list of indian citizens last year moving so many times has only raise suspicions. They suspect us as bangladeshis if we were really bangladeshis why would we live here how do we have these papers why do they keep harassing us its unbearable as sam has seen waves of immigration since the early 20th century and as for too long battle to preserve its land and its ethnic identity in 179 a students led Movement Began a campaign against those who had considered for a nose or outsiders and the only 4 years later things came to a head white here in the early one nearly 2000 muslims were killed in just 6 hours by a mob and surrounding areas in central assad. 75 year old has a hawk saw 5 members of his family murdered any official paperwork he had was bugged along with his home it meant hes had to find replacement copies of important personal documentation today his son and grandson are struggling to prove they are indian moderate. My mother was killed my sons were killed a cant even sleep when i think about what happened why are they still prosecuting us what have we done. For more than 40 years the sob Students Union has been fighting for political and economic rights of the indigenous assamese it wants all those it considers foreigners to leave both hindus and muslims we can all feel like a 2nd was to them in their own role model and how we can build work rebuilding for human rights we look to build them we have looked from port peoples i mean the well for now a cloud of uncertainty hunts over more than 1900000 people in assam who still dont know if officially theyll be recognised as indian citizens. Lets put this into context shall we priyanka in january we had the lower house of indias. Pass a bill didnt pass parliament as a whole it didnt become more but they the lower house passed legislation that would make citizenship effectively easier for you but as long as youre not muslim now we have this debt which most of those who might be. Are in fact. Or stateless are in fact. Is this being seen as sort of a drive by the b j p. Whats the concern in the us is. That there is also voices that a lot of people who are left out of that list last year were in fact baby boy even though there were a lot of legal and you can do is whats called problem doing its more of a dependency 971 but of course the people who are more smart the march of life im discriminated against the big all the muslims who say they think you should adopt this commission we talked about in that report egypt he says that it is not happy with the n. R. C. Because it is it wants every verification 20 percent a border district which they think are mostly muslim dominated and therefore they should be part of we would have a you know in this case we all know all the students you know deficit to do we spoke to this boy before in this movement in 979095 basically that would amount to a legal challenge ask the Supreme Court to view the number of people who have been excluded. Thanks so much. Is the director of the asian center for human rights joins us now from new delhi good to have you with us now we understand that those who may end up stateless have the right of appeal. However practically speaking do they have the money the legal representation even the in some cases the level. To follow up and try and 5. If. I did not expect that they. Had found that each person had spent roughly about 20000. 00 peace these people are the poorest and they dont have the means they have in the process. So now if they have to be for the. Money between. 5000. 00 at a minimum if. These people. Actually. Finally be convicted because the prosecution has. No other option but the. Detention center the government is not going to. Take. The government of india to prove that these people actually have. For how long were talking about 1900000 people in detention. Had educated. With respect to the do. We have. At least 1000000 people we. Are talking about sending people. At least 1000000 people and how long is a question if you look at about 2000 people. At least 200 people who have come. Which can be. On the. People who are. Detained up to. Allow the continued detention but. You have to. Have. Political issues which i expect at this stage thank you so much for your analysis now. While we talk about india lets take you back to hong kong because things were heating up there i wonder if we can still see whether we can the pictures from moments ago where we had molotov cocktails being thrown towards. The building of the right place there being thrown from the protesters so clearly things heating up things turning steadily more violent it seems. Now whats going on the protesters have gathered around the legislative building area riot police also taking up station weve seen reinforcements coming in and there we go now molotov cocktails were thrown these are not live pictures but they were a few moments ago. The riot Police Taking opposition they can see looks like the riot Police Shooting back. To gas because that has been used quite heavily today weve seen. Also tear gas don i want to count. So thats what was going on these a live pictures now this is the situation i wonder if we can bring in wayne hey wayne if you can hear me. Ok were looking at live pictures clearly Police Shooting i guess that is tear gas canisters this is really heating up now right. Yes semi certainly as we mentioned before the protesters had retreated away from right outside the Legislative Council building and pushed down this main road but they havent gone away theyre digging in here a little bit for a fight certainly the crowd has diminished in numbers but were still seeing a few 1000. Of those protesters staying here and in fact there was a line of riot police there that they appear to have pushed back so the riot police still firing a lot of rounds of tear gas from down there you mentioned those molotov cocktails which seen 34 thrown in the last 20 minutes 15 minutes or so you may be able to see it will basically got 2 roads here weve got where were standing now and then theres an overpass so the protest every few minutes just also a pushing up that up. Thats where were seeing some of those im on the top top top thrown on and the police get on. To get just to paint the picture where we are compared with where we were before in our corner perhaps well just swing around getting a bit dark so its a bit difficult to see bit further down there you see some flashing lights there was a line of police there as well but not moving just standing there shining their torches down. By. At any moment the. Ill be standing is the main entrance to parliament to the legislative building and youre asking before. Theres work their way in there it doesnt look like they have looks like that part of the bill pretty. But if you get if we go back to july 1st thats where they are for the most they smashed the windows down there on july 1st im at the theyre doing half an hour protest are still on this road but of a stand off at the moment and riot Police Coming at them like they bring to this street and from behind me here and by possibly to move in a. Way. As protesters of course some protests have been peaceful but clearly violence has been used by some of the protests weve seen rocks and stones. Molotov cocktails thrown by the protesters how is that going down in the public psyche or course before we did have a fight violent storming of the legislative building. I think a very good for them. Just now. And. We apologize there were clearly having some audio issues trying to fix that so you can go back to our reporters are doing some brilliant work there bringing us the situation as it unfolds live there in hong kong what should have been by the Police Accounts all by the instructions of the authorities a day of no protests that is not happening what we are witnessing now we have been witnessing most of today was people coming out despite the band gathering. And showing their frustration showing how unhappy they are with the political direction of hong kong territory now weve seen protesters gather around initially the largest of the building. That ledge that the building of course was surrounded by those fences there was riot police there and then we saw authorities try and push back water cannon and die was fired tear gas was used quite heavily some of our reporters were in there one point having to take care of all the tear gas. We then also saw these latest pictures moments ago where protesters started throwing molotov cocktails towards the riot police as you can see there are up on that fly over there above the riot police all of thats going on around the area of. The legislative building. There you go there is one most of cocktail and the riot Police Firing back we think is tear gas more tear gas towards the protesters. This. This doesnt seem to be dying down we saw reinforcements arrive we saw the rain pick up at one point. But it looks like the protesters simply redeployed dug in prepared their positions dragged pieces of fencing in front of them. We saw them carry what looked like pieces of of rubble or rocks and wheelbarrows and it does look like theyre dead
