Hong kong police have forced thousands of protesters away from the regions legislature theyve used tear gas and pepper spray to clear the area debate on a controversial proposed extradition or had been delayed as activists were blocking politicians from entering the building scott hardly has more from hong kong. Major intersections in Central Hong Kong transformed into front lines as violent confrontations between riot police and prodemocracy protesters escalated throughout the day. The fighting was near the Legislative Council headquarters where the proposed extradition lot was due to be debated but the government session was postponed because legislators couldnt avoid the protesters to get into the building or anywhere close. Late in the afternoon riot police fired tear gas and pepper spray at the protesters then rubber bullets right now what youre seeing is this is one of the main areas where this confrontation between police and the protesters and the going on whats amazing is the communication between the protesters now that this has happened here this tear gas is here theyre going to roll back in the were going to tell everyone well behind that this is happened so everybody will push back but look how quickly this is cleared out. From early in the morning protesters blocked roads leading to the Central District the heart of hong kong where we had to say phone call i have to say that will fall and then we have to make sure that that one country 2 systems come in and then being like bringing on and to continue and not to lose hong kong im sad and frustrated and angry and everything we have here and then well stay on see you this evil is going away the socalled one country 2 systems where freedoms guaranteed in the treaty when colonial rulers britain handed over hong kong to china in 19071 of the organizers of sundays 1000000 people march demanded the government scrap the extradition laws. Chinas leaders say the law is necessary to close a legal loophole which allows suspected criminals to escape prosecution as protesters built barricades and government leaders issued a warning to political hay for the Hong Kong Government is calling on protesters who are blocking roads to return to the pedestrian sidewalks as soon as possible so traffic can resume im also urging protesters to stay calm disperse peacefully and not test the law but the protesters are testing the law and its looking like theyre digging in preparing to stay images reminiscent of the umbrella prodemocracy movement 5 years ago when protesters blocked up the Central Business district for 11 weeks its got to either aljazeera own car. Well mcbride is in hong kong and joins us from there now whats the situation like now. The last few hours have remained relatively calm but there is a certain level of tension here and a heavy Police Presence on the street still gradually early hours of thursday morning busy 3 roads had being opened we were within about an hour or so of daybreak here and theres been a large clean up operation weve seen Police Moving around it was from this area and other areas nearby around the government headquarters or just a kilometer over in that direction that the thousands of demonstrators were cleared away they have left a real mess behind broken barricades and so on. As they were moved from this area into the Central Business district a number of protesters tried to make an attempt to set up further barricades but the police seemed to be determined not to allow them to do that there were further clashes now both sides felicity have been blaming each other for the levels of violence the police say they were trapped inside the legislative complex when they were attacked by demonstrators with iron bars and bricks they had no choice they say but to use what they were said was a restrained level of violence but according to the demonstrators they then continued to use their rubber bullet type weapons and also c. S. Gas to clear away all the thousands of other demonstrators who were simply occupying the streets and were peacefully demonstrating so there are claims and counterclaims on either side but at the moment no signs of the demonstrators for the city and Health Officials expect to build again as the day unfolds. That is the question there as scott mentioned in his report these protesters are very adept at organizing almost organically these flash mob demonstrations demonstrating. That will gather very quickly using social media without their seemingly being any kind of leaders so we are waiting to see what the a hours of daylight will bring here in hong kong the groups themselves have said that as long as the council here is considering this controversial extradition legislation they will keep up their protests continue their protests for the government side carry land the chief executive of hong kong has vowed despite the opposition despite a demonstration by a 1000000 people last sunday that hong kong has to have this legislation they seem determined possibly with beijing in the background pushing them to stand firm seem determined to push this legislation through brian thank you very much indeed.

Trying to top story and efforts to mediate between iran and the u. S. By the japanese Prime Minister well earlier i spoke to the u. S. Special representative for iran brian hook he says washington has been coordinating with tokyo about his visit and will continue its campaign of maximum pressure on terror on. Prime minister obey did land in iran today weve been highly coordinated with the Prime Minister he and the president spoke in a few times and so hes there to try to do his part he did today call on iran to play a constructive role in the region which is not a role that is played to date. So we are going to continue our campaign of maximum economic pressure because we want to iran to make better decisions and we have seen i think very positive effects from our Pressure Campaign there have been a number of press articles over the last 4 or 5 months documenting about how irans proxies in the region whether its hamas or hezbollah or of shia militias militias in syria or iraq dont have the money they used to because iran doesnt have the money that it used to so our sanctions we think are having a very positive effect they they what you call economic pressure the Foreign Ministry spokesman estimates heavy described today as economic terrorism and they said that they would consider negotiating with the u. S. If you can only terrorism against the iranian people stops is that a potential for sanctions actually to increase the tension with iran
