Hello and welcome. Senior politicians in hong kong have been celebrating the moment the city returned to chinese rule 22 years ago. Led by chief executive carrie lam and joined by officials from china, they attended a reception a few hours ago. Outside, a flag raising ceremony was held at the harbour front. In her toast, carrie lam wished success to the motherland and to the stability and prosperity of hong kong. Away from this, though, the mood is quiet different. This is the scene live as crowds of activists have been gathering from early this morning. Theyre now in a peaceful stand off with police. There were a few skirmishes and clashes reported earlier, but we believe this is protesters just outside the entrance of the Hong Kong Convention centre where that ceremony to mark the 22nd anniversary of the handover took place, and you can see a number of protesters in hardhats, and that was because those protests last month did turn violent, there were some altercations with Police Off

Well thank them, but also they picked up their cute waze logo there. Were looking at a slower drive from bernal to center boulevard. We are showing the slowdown as well coming down through pleasanton and in toward sunol. The cutthrough for 84 works well today and consider that to get around that crash if youre coming in out of livermore and altamont pass. A little slowing for hayward, no surprise. Same thing as the bay bridge toll plaza, where that disabled vehicle i do believe has been cleared. Back to you. Thank you, mike.
