The governments plans. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes reports from hong kong. Fellow citizens and members of the media. As she stood alone at the podium, carrie lam must have known every pair of eyes in hong kong was watching her. After a week of mass street protests and running battles between protesters and police, would she or wouldnt she back down and drop the widely hated extradition bill . I now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise. Not a withdrawal, then. So is this just a trick to pacify the protesters . It has nothing to do with an intention or wish to pacify. How could i restore, as fast as possible, the calm in society, and how could i avoid any more Law Enforcement officers and ordinary citizens being injured . The fear of more angry protesters returning to these barricades is what has prompted carrie lam and her administration to make what is clearly a major climb down. This is not a temporary pause to the extradi

To processing grunt. And will be backwards compatible with the entire xbox library of games. And thats on the way for november next year. Games streaming may well be the future, but it isnt over giant alien heads, pokemon gyms, for the physical console just yet. E3 is, of course, chock full of games, games, and, well, more games.
