This was how the hong kong protesters showed their contempt for their government and its latest attempt to quell the protest with emergency measures that outlaw facemasks. Some were even handing them out to stop people getting sick, one man told me. This was a sizeable turnout. Tens and tens of thousands marching on the streets and shutting down major roads once again.

Firing fairly indiscriminately over the top, the police, and while there is no confrontation this is their first attempt to try and disperse the crowd today, it is definitely numbering in the tens of thousands. Hong kongs leader carrie lam spoke of paralysis here yesterday, condemning the protesters once again. The facemask ban has done nothing to help lessen that. Translation carrie lam
