Protesters started throwing molotov cocktails towards the riot police as you can see the rock home that fly over there above the riot police all of thats going on around the area of. The legislative building. There you go there is one miles of cocktail and the riot Police Firing back what we think is tear gas more tear gas towards the protesters. This. This doesnt seem to be dying down we saw reinforcements arrive we saw the rain pick up at one point. But it looks like the protesters simply redeployed dug in prepared their positions dragged pieces of fencing in front of them we saw them carry what looked like pieces of of rubble or rocks and wheelbarrows and it does look like theyre theyre digging in. For what might be a long night. It doesnt seem like the round of arrests which happened on friday has deterred everyone at least from coming out on the streets if the authorities were counting on time and arrests wearing down the protesters. It doesnt seem to have happened so far at least. We saw thousands of people. One point flooding that street that leads up to the legislative building the street was packed with protesters. At one point didnt seem. To be any shortage of people coming out. Lets see if we can go back to wayne hey now i think weve sort about grown in this way and if you can hear me just bring us up to speed now with whats going on. Well basically semi over the past hours no more than that really we saw or some major violence break out really what we saw throughout the course of the day was a peaceful march many many people on the streets in different parts of Hong Kong Islands happens in only this location so far the night is still young when they came to the offices of the legislature in hong kong they stopped outside or quite a few of them did it. In the end throw up the case who were standing behind barricades in the compound of the Legislative Council of the police eventually gave the u. S water cannon and other forms of defense as well the protesters have been digging in but were just being told now that those decided among themselves to move on from this area the riot police still surrounding this area just to seem to be disappearing else or this area and of say that theyre going to a different part of hong kong again the numbers reduced quite dramatically again we must emphasize that this is a fairly Peaceful Movement for the most part once the tear gas start being fired most people leave the area there was still felt that way if i could jump in there as you said protesters were leaving it decides are big are they regrouping in another part of the city or are they going how do we know. Again theres 2 sides to the sami most people have probably made the decision to go home and thats what weve seen over the past almost 3 months when the violence starts most people leave the last day and. The people that i mentioned who decided to leave from what we understand theyre not going to go into another part of the city and again thats been a familiar pattern just about every weekend violence will break out disperse fairly quickly regroup perhaps in smaller numbers in other parts of the city for pop up protests theyll block roads and things like that so it seems babs thats what theyre going off to do again do we know in advance like do you know now where theyre regrouping. We do they have said here on the ground there now and stuff over the loudspeaker that they go into an area called the causeway bay so still on long island and only a few kilometers from here so not far away at all but beyond that they share the messages on social media on an app called telegram thats how they get their messages around so you often see the protests to standing around at times like this in down times if you lie just checking their phones and then all of a sudden theyll go so that seems that thats whats happened now theyve decided that this area is done for now they got their message they attacked the Legislative Council building again and now theyre moving on to another area why is causeway banned i think you said it was important to understand where you are is important because its the symbol of power in the lives that the building was some calls way back a. While nothing of great significance other than that its another key part of the city its a financial district its a tourist district as well and its an area that they have talked about going quite a few times they have had protests there before that was an area that was talked about earlier on saturday it didnt eventuate seems thats where theyre going to go now but it has been very random semi yes there are some key locations like the legislative buildings but other than that the targeted neighborhoods far away from the Business District far away from the tourist areas in suburban hong kong if you like theyve often targeted areas light. That sometimes where the police have compounds where they stay the residential compounds of police and other Emergency Services this is just another one of those areas have decided to target no doubt the police will be there in big numbers as well interesting things talking of other areas lets go back to sarah clarke because shes watching things of another location and wayne was just talking about how some of the protesters are leaving that area going to another area. Is basically looking at. A game to try and see who could and where the other side down quick the protesters are trying to move from one area to another and drag this out and around hong kong for authorities. This is a common strategy they disperse the crowds and i regroup in other areas weve seen a number of times in central where the rallies have split its moved its that it moved its night its way around central but there was no actual particular distillation that was mentioned by the protesters where they were going but certainly this was the im this part of Central Hong Kong where the the main political offices are and by the chinese army as well as the lives of Council Building and the chief Government Office which is where kerry land presides her main offices and was staff that was obviously the target we also know the word suggestions are rumors that they were going to march towards the chinese Liaison Officer thats in front of me why it is hes behind me thats again thats the eastern side the western side of front of me is where that Liaison Office is now that Liaison Office has been completely barricaded the street in front of it has been blocked off simply to avoid those protesters getting anywhere near a china is mainly ice office in hong kong but at the moment they have dispersed weve got 100 or so right place behind me now all kitted up and ready to go and there are no doubt be on standby to take the next move which is why they discuss the next strategy to see where those protesters move to next wayne was. When was close to where the protesters were sara and he could see them but they some of them at least seem to be packing up and going home. Looking behind you your see close to where the riot police the other side or this line if we can call it that what sort of posture are they taking are they beginning to to relax and feel like this is on winding are they still and getting ready for another round. 3 minutes ago that had relaxed that had a breather and took their masks off but now theyve got their masks back on and again weve seen a number of places scattered around the city this is obviously a mine dispersal part around hong kong in the way they do it is they pretty much they put a warning out there put about you know theyre there they get one or 2 or 3 warnings before they do start firing with canisters of tear gas and this time as we saw the Water Cannons which were the blue dye and we mentioned earlier that this is a new strategy its something that was mentioned a couple of weeks ago the Governments Commission and those 4 vehicles which had that capability of the water cannon the blue dye as a tactic but i did find a protest its a its a clever why they way of identifying the process is they want to take the steps in and arrest them and. Take him to court but this is the 1st time theyve used that at the moment the police as i said they keep it up but theyre talking about waiting for the next step or the next instruction from the head office all right lets thank sara plancks there live from hong kong brilliant correspondents there sarah and wayne but lets go now to our guest joseph chang he joins us from City University in hong kong is this a surprise that we expected there was going to be an attempt to turn out despite the police. Quite large crowds and at one point got quite heated again. Yes it is so and the increasing sense of find no one showdown it is believed to be terry land and ministration is considering the imposition of emergency regulations ordinance which will give the government a lot of Emergency Powers getting rid of the areas are mechanisms protecting basic human rights there were arrests of free the prodemocracy doctors status yes a pay per still in need those like george for war so there is a sense of a final confrontation coming in the contest of various political shares that the chinese leadership what might carry down to mr asian to clean up the mess well before the october 1st national day so it is expected that there will be certain confrontations today especially when the peaceful rally was denying. The Police Authority so actually people marching in the streets now. In fact validating laws which made them to be to be arrested but obviously given the very large numbers of protesters this cannot be done what the imposition of emergency rule quieten the situational will it provoke it further because we saw of course yesterday there were arrests and that did not quieten the situation. Well it seems that the chinese authorities now understand the tremendous costs of mobilizing the Peoples Liberation army and the use of this 1902 all legislation may well be one way out which will bypass the expand the powers in the hands of the carolan and ministration to stop. Where radios and televisions and to impose a curfew to denying the right of holding. Marches and so on and to make arrests but more easily so this frett of using hes up there to station as reflected in the in the beginning the as well as the pope beating the united front leaders and on cant seem to be a serious threat to the rights of hong kong people and the Business Community its on on the people side its time because the Business Community certainly believes that this is very damaging to Business Confidence and to hong kongs reputation and functioning as an International Financial center now weve seen of course mainland forces in garrison and shenzhen and not far from hong kong. Holding drills and what observers say was clearly a message being sent to hong kong what do you think is the likelihood of their intervention at this point or in the future if this continues to build up. At the moment the probability is low. The use of the military is a necessary in an appropriate way at a cost to hong kong as far as we have explained because to the chinese leadership it will be very hard to all of it goes through me well meaning the failure of its policy of good policy it was wrong on the ending of the one country 2 systems model and this may also attract some missions from our western countries especially from the Donald Trump Administration which has suggested. There is a length cage between the siloam american trait and agreement which is not going to conchita and the situation and the humane treatment of the crisis in hong kong out there is of course a very serious moments recently i want to slow. From the perspective of beijing authorities and why the thing theyve dug in and assumably instructed the chief executive there not to give an inch i mean that she shelved the extradition bill but hasnt killed it off completely why. I think from the little sparkys point of view it cannot be seen to be neat it cannot be seen to be giving concessions to mass movements and it is very concerned with the demonstration effect on china are at the same time days probably an underestimation of the end and dissatisfaction on our of hong kong. Now we understand i think it was Something Like 900. 00 people the Hong Kong Police said on friday they had arrested if this sort of thing goes on will that eventually decapitate at least the organizers of these protests. This appears to be the thinking of the carry down ministration and this also explains the larger scale of us in the reason we put so there is of course and estimation the most radical projects near protestants may number about 4 or 5000 serious arrests. Since the sanctions dismissed scared them of and there is also the. Is speculation that hong kong people may be willing to. To opt for a more peaceful settlement. Certainly not one our long term serious confrontation against the. Hong kong authorities but at least at the moment is speculation since the be wrong peoples anger is still very strong and b expect a School Strike workers strike on monday and tuesday next week and then meet the again the gain some protests activities around the airport tomorrow and i will have to watch what happens thanks so much though for your analysis of the terms of change there. All right over the last hour also in hong kong violence has broken out in the Central District where protesters have been surrounding government headquarters protesters threw rocks and petrol bombs and Police Responded with tear gas and street battle has been unfolding next to the main barracks of the Chinese Military in the city its the 13th straight weekend of massive protests in the hong kong lets return to the protests wane hey is live for us again so why and last time we spoke you said some people starting to clear off as the situation calmed down on the side of the protesters. Certainly has a pattern that weve seen many times before these things tend to end fairly quickly and its difficult to imagine where were standing right now just a few moments ago was a Battle Ground between thousands of protesters and the riot police as well in the end yes the protesters did begin for quite some time before deciding to leave this area saying that they were going to go to another part of hong kong were not sure exactly if that is what they have done or not but they have left this area and the riot police have moved right in fanning out in some smaller groups into some of the smaller roads and communities around here just trying to see if there are any remnants of the protesters around in some of the streets around here doesnt look like there are but the riot police are not taking any chances theyre still very much in this area the violence really broke out just under 2 hours ago it had been a peaceful rally a peaceful march around many parts of hong kong throughout the course of the day but when the protesters came here to what is effectively hong kongs parliament the Legislative Council buildings many of them stopped outside the building is held. Fortified now with barricades a lot of riot Police Inside that compound and the protesters stopped outside began hurling verbal abuse at the police as theyve done throughout this protest movement and then it started throwing objects towards the police into the compound and the police wasted little time sami in responding with many many rounds of tear gas we also saw rubber bullets being fired beanbag rounds as well as weve seen being fired throughout this protest movement and they use the water cannon as well which is something weve only seen very briefly once before we could go so for the moment the protesters after trying to diggin for some time perhaps longer than weve seen before have now retreated in this area is now very much in the control of the police or its calm down there but they regroup elsewhere tell us whats going on around the city. Well the familiar pattern has been that theyll dig in a particular location like they did here just a few moments ago they will take the fight to the police for an hour maybe 2 at the most and then they will disappear and thats exactly what we saw happen just a few moments ago they started shouting at each other over the loudspeakers saying lets go to causeway bay that was the message they put out causeway bay not too far from here just a few kilometers also on Hong Kong Island a very busy part of hong kong that is the main shopping district of hong kong so that had been an area that was suggested earlier in the day that could be a target of the protesters so thats what they were saying at the time that that that they would do that they would go to that area were not seeing any evidence just yet that that is what they have done but undoubtedly in the hours ahead we will see them pop up in other parts of the city usually the numbers are a lot less than what we saw here in the last 2 hours but they certainly will pop up in other parts of the city they will perhaps use tactics that theyve used many other nights blocking roads again usually just for a short time. The police will move in and chase them away and they get in theyll move on to another part of the city its certainly become a very familiar pattern semi or right of way and as youre talking there weve got pictures up on the right side of the screen let me explain its kind of linked to what you were talking about why im not sure you can see this but not very far not too far im told from where you are this is one of the areas that least where the protesters have started to regroup theyve dragged looks like some of the fencing and barriers to make some kind of war partition so it does look like at least some of the protesters are digging in another part of hong kong for more protests so thats going to be one there is going to
