China and the United States divided by the tugofwar on trade, and now there is a new flash point to tell you about, a massive protest that took place in hong kong. Chinese state media say the United States is behind it because of the trade dispute, but trade is not the reason so many people took to the streets there, as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators you see right there, people who said they came together to protest the bill they fear gives the Chinese Government too much power in hong kong. The linc would allow criminal suspects in hong kong to be sent to Mainland China. Emotions have been running high on this issue and the protesters there, well, it went straight through monday morning. For most for the most part, things were peaceful. The clashes did break out there in some places. Authorities say at least three people three Pol
Antigovernment march is about to begin. The public outcry against the controversial extradition bill has grown louder and the government has shelved it, but not completely scrapped it, and that is why these protesters are out there in front of this parliamentary building. So lets turn oh our anna coren. She is following all of these developments for us live from hong kong. And anna, as weve been covering this, the protesters keep ramming that reinforced glass door with that steel framed trolley, and they appear to have actually penetrated a hole at least there, which has gotten the riot Police Inside very edgy, indeed. So they seem to be getting close to their goal. Yeah, they certainly do, rosemary. Were looking at those live pictures with you.

Its 3 00 a. M. On the u. S. East coast, and good to have you with us. A massive protest in hong kong and the United States is getting the blame for it. A day after hundreds of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets, as you see there, Chinese State media say the u. S. Orchestrated it all because of the trade dispute. But trade is not the reason why so many people came together. Demonstrators came out in force protesting a bill that they fear gives the Chinese Government too much power in hong kong. The legislation would allow criminal suspects, and that could be defined broadly, criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China from hong kong. The protests were mostly peaceful but some clashes did break out during that time. Authorities say at least three Police Officers were hurt and several arrests were made there. The citys chief executive, though, is promising to push ahead with that bill, but a prodemocracy lawmaker, in fact several of them, say it is time to get rid of it. Li
