Omarion i havent seen its good to have you with us. We begin in hong kong where protesters have been to find a government ban on wearing face masks to conceal their identity hundreds of people have formed human chains with their faces covered risking jail and hefty fines the citys subway and many shops remained closed after a night of violence on friday there were more clashes today as police confronted masked protestors we spoke to some of the demonstrators who hit the streets today and asked why they decided to defy the facemask ban. To the time you go. To numerous rallies before but i never wore a mask are wearing a mask today not because i want to hide my identity but to express my anger towards this law. When you know i think that the problems should be resolved politically the government should find solutions instead of imposing more regulation else does or not to mask law now there might be a curfew in future there not solutions the real issue is discontent with the government the boss has to be talk old. Your dog on your part when you go to one store or store it is introduced Emergency Powers they can enact any law at any time to time or im very concerned that all our freedoms will be eroded so i guess thats why im standing up to resist a lot today which are they hope. Its normal to wear masks what the governments doing is nonsense they have the worst of the truth these are rights they have no power to ban them to buy.
