Thats all from sportsday. Well have more throughout the evening. Good night. There have been intense scuffles outside Hong Kong International airport between riot police and protesters. Paramedics put a man out is of the main terminal building. Activists have barricaded one of the entrances partly using trolleys. There have been no passengers in our out of the airport today as yesterday. And mcavoy visits hong kong every year and she is Senior Editor of the economist. She wrote about the crisis today about the crisis facing hong kong. How anxious do you feel and how serious has become . It is clear this idea of just waiting it out does not look like it is going to get the result that the chinese authorities want. It has worked before. I think one of the difficulties china has is the thought once about this was this change to the law which would allow hong kong citizens to be extradited. I think it has not worked from their point of view because this has escalated and all sorts of other dissatisfactions have come to the core including the old Umbrella Movement which many people thought, plucky kids a few years ago, but that would go away but it seems to have come back. I think that was something perhaps i thought had gone but has come back to life. Particularly when the legal system is under threat. So assuming that china does not just is under threat. So assuming that china does notjust want to give ground and withdraw, then this is going to continue to build. The other question is and we had footage is from the airport there, what happens there is little flash points happening here and there. I think the protesters do not fear Something Like Tiananmen Square but that the garrison in hong kong could become involved and you could have anti riot kind of carriers. And that would be very intimidating and i think that is what we are waiting for, does china move in that direction or tried to defuse the situation. You can see the arguments of 20 years ago why china would be happy to play softball with hong kong because in a sense it provided a tremendous opportunity for china as it was looking to expand economically and be accepted internationally. Great fu nfairs economically and be accepted internationally. Great funfairs that it was going to play by the same rules as the wto. Now the economy has expanded and everyone is a sense is keen to trade with china. Is there a sense that hong kong may beat matters less to china than it once did and so preserving the difference is less important . That is true in part but easily exaggerated. One thing is that we questioned in one piece we an economist was it is not true looking at the figures because it is an attractive place for people to be who want to trade with china. But partly because of the legal system and as they see slightly closed nature of the weight many businesses are conducted then things go wrong, one minute huawei is conquering the world and then there are issues around it. So the amount of deals and barring book through hong kong has gone up quite dramatically. It is still very important and the question is, the chinese are often very clever in the way they look at business. From their point of view being hong kong functioning well is important to business. But is the business interest leading the other politics and the desire to show an example. I think could backfire also in beijing. We had carrie lam singh on friday look at the damage being done to tourism and business but how much longer do you think the International Businesses based in hong kong can ignore what is going on around them . It is a good question and it depends if they have a very long time line and think it is worth being there. It is nicely located between china and all those opportunities there and the west. You mightjust think you could wait it out and just scale things back. Other places that have had problems with public order have kept going as great business hubs. But if it is not resolved and people cannot see an end to it, so the costs and benefits perhaps start to get out of order. Carrie lam is describing it as if it was something that was visited only by the protesters and of course that is not right as many businesses were worried about this and worried about this wide ranging extradition law as well. You could therefore find if you are employing a Hong Kong National but they were vulnerable to being extradited. So the threat to business isnt coming not only from the protesters. Thanks very much for talking to us.
