A clear message from hong kong protesters of the chinese flag flies overhead on chinas national day. We have been here for hours and we are trying to express our views and tell the government we need real democracy. As dozens of demonstrators heckled from behind police lines, a handful managed to get past the barriers to the flag raising ceremony. The chief executive is here from beijing, honoring chinas past on this day. Hong kong also had to defend beijings decisions about the future. Universal suffrage, even with limited candidates, is better than nothing. It is better for the chief executive to be elected by 5 Million People rather than a committee of 1200. After a week of mass demonstrations and clashes with police, student protesters are hoping their ranks will swell with workers. We believe that what the police have done in the past few days has helped our people. We believe we have the right to tell the government what we want.

As the crowd grows, so does the fear of the police crackdown. Were for more on the situation in hong kong, im joined by Douglas Herbert international editor. Hong kong has been holding it party line, but it does seem that the leader there is being left to deal with this a bit on his own. There is speculation that he is not even directly speaking to the chinese leader. When he does coordinate with beijing comments with lowerlevel officials, and eventually their message to him is, we have enough problems of our own right now. Sort out hong kong. Its your problem right now. And then theres that sort of. Or else. And you dont really know what that or else is. In beijing they see him as a solid, trusted man the helm for now. He seen as very much probeijing. When he was sworn in in 2012 its no coincidence when he was handpicked by the beijing nominating committee, the peepers daily ran an editorial xor link extolling him as conrad as comrade. Many saw that as proof that he was in bed with the communist party. Also in his inauguration speech he started a little bit in cantonese and then switched into mandarin. Mandarin is the language spoken on the mainland. But in hong kong, it is cantonese. Hes very much seen by the locals as beijings man and a matter what he may say. So far, he has not done anything to disappoint beijing. He has stuck to the script telling the protesters should go home, you should be happy with the package they are offering you. Having 5 million votes is a lot better than the vote of 1200 people. But what he did not address was that they would be voting for prevetted candidates by beijing. But what could happen in china . What could happen in china . If this had happened on the mainland, these protests would have been stopped immediately. It would likely have been crushed immediately. You do have uprising them protests, most of which you do not hear about because they are over in a few days time. Hong kong is a different story. Gigi being the leader in china, if he had a struthers had his druthers, why not . What he would say is he would not threaten the prosperity of hong kong. He is up against the wall, but also does not want to be seen as doing anything as weak. And any concessions will be seen as weakness. A very delicate balancing act for him.

Gulliver, what do we know about who is behind these attacks, if anything . As always, its terribly difficult to determine with any certainty. Donetsk city hall, which is a well trusted source of information about these attacks refuses a matter of principle to speculate who is behind them.

Online to my seen bloggers posting photos and showing the trajectory of the muscle looks like it came from the south which means it came from prorussian controlled territory.
