Hundreds of thousands are out and proud on the streets of harlem after the city celebrates its annual crime parade and this year its marking a special anniversary. On polish welcome to the show well start in moscow where hundreds of people tried to day to rally outside the Mayors Office demanding free and fair local elections organizations that monitor political arrests in russia say nearly 700 people have been arrested all Russian Police half of that number and arrests are still being made it comes after a raft of opposition and independent candidates were barred from running in the citys Upcoming Council election a protest was declared illegal and. Police began to detain people gathering for the demonstration even before it began. Our moscow correspondent and one sure one was out there rally a short while ago i spoke to her heres how she described the situation unfolding in the russian capital security has been very tight even going into these meetings along the main road where the protest was supposed to be held in the main square here in the center the roads were blocked off police were lined up there were buses prepared to kind of take on the arrested protesters and even ahead of the protest as well there were warnings including from moscow they are sick of young and saying that this protest would be dangerous and that provocations could be expected that doesnt seem to have deterred the muscovites of the protesters that you see behind me theyre kind of Walking Around the center and they keep being pushed back by various lines of police what justification have the authorities given for barring opposition candidates in these local elections. Well the author already has have said that the opposition candidates who were registering as independent candidates in these upcoming Moscow City Parliament elections that they had actually not collected enough signatures you have to collect a certain amount of signatures to be able to be registered as a candidate none of those candidates were registered the authorities said that these signatures were not valid they cited mistakes they cited false identities meanwhile the candidates themselves refused to believe that they say that the authorities consciously didnt write down the right names and put down the right names into the database when they were putting down those signatures and that thats why they havent been registering this is about much more. Then just local elections what are the protesters hoping to achieve by rallies such as this. One the good news for you i think whats notable today about the protest is that there really is a mix of people here young and old and this has become about more than the moscow see the Council Elections a local election that parliament doesnt have too much power but people here at the process of told me that actually this is more symbolic than the moscow everyone will be watching moscow around the country thats what protesters here say you can hear there are defiantly shouting against the police who are approaching and who are gathering around and they say that this is about democracy they say they want the right to vote for candidates that they want to vote for. Tensions rising in hong kong where hundreds of thousands of protesters faced off against riot police today defying orders to stay home the march took place in the neighborhood where a violent mob attacked prodemocracy protesters and bystanders last weekend on kong has been rocked by weeks of civil unrest with mass protests calling for a stronger commitment to Democratic Values and of holding the city state autonomy from Mainland China. But he was interested in. Violence begets violence the quote attributed to civil rights leader Martin Luther king jr is playing out on the streets of Hong Kong Police had banned the protest in advance citing safety concerns but organizers say close to 300000 people turned out Police Fire Tear gas when they refused to disperse several protesters were reported injured police threatened arrests but made none for much of the day demonstrators appeared undeterred. Are opening in and are for is this important to change hong kong we have to hope for what happened last week but thats why were here at the right thats when a mob of men and whites swept through a train station here injuring dozens of the clubs and pipes victims included journalists lawmakers and bystanders but the real target appears to be the ones in black prodemocracy protesters. Theyve been rallying for weeks against their governments ties to Mainland China protesters have blamed police for acting too slowly against the mob Violence Police deny the charge saying theyve made arrests including those with suspected ties to triad a chinese gang. That hasnt satisfied the most hardcore protesters as night fell they hunkered down in the train station. Right. Some hurled objects. The Police Ultimately storm the station clearing them out by force. Joining me now in the studios to tell us terry chan terry what started as a peaceful most men is now turning more and more violent how has it come to this yes so youre right at the in one that process was lost in a peaceful when there were 1w2w people went on the streets it was a very orderly and some. Family brought their. Troops to the protests and they all went well but then in the 2nd week of the protest the police start to using very aggressive approach to dispose of protestors and i mean many people are saying that this is unnecessary violence and so the trust between the protesters to the police relieved them a shot and now you can see the protesters are always tearing up and they always wear helmets and face masks to protect themselves because they think that its almost certain that the police will be dispersed and at the end of the protest this started as a protest against a controversial extradition bill that bill has since been shelved but people still come out every weekend why yes so the bill has been shelved but then the people are actually asking for it to be true to withdraw and so. There is still one of the reason that people are still out on the street every week 10 but the focus of the protests also shift very lashley to the Police Brutality that we were talking about and they actually saying that the government should have an independent investigation so was this police and to us what happened in the past few weeks and actually the police at the protest particularly today its about some incident that happened last week 10 and so there was a take by a mob towards indiscriminate towards. The protestors and just normal citizens and the people saying that the police are actually cooperating with this mob so the police of course they deny these claims but this is the general mood of the protesters and they really mistrust the police so they will still go on to the protests every weekend what can we expect now or do you see an end to this actually just tomorrow they. Be yet and not a protest and then they are also planning on protest next week and the return after and. Its really look like it with an end time soon unless the government. Respond to the requests of the protesters how likely is that. Really at the pence on the scale of the protests and how it develops cherry chan thank you very much for your analysis.
