Off is a. Welcome to news asia its good to have you with us. On the streets of hong kong i was forced to sit up and listen the government has been drawing a controversial extradition bill thats months of protests in the chinese started for a chief executive made the announcement today 1st the government will pull money with the bill in order to allay public concerns the secretary for security will move a motion according to the rules of procedure when the Legislative Council recently. That though doesnt seem to have made much of a difference but prodemocracy activists yes how they reacted. To candy land that confession still call them to thank you and you too late the damage is done and theyre gone and whos still leaving people calling they should think think you can use this im gonna be in close to patel and hell be fine thats not a game to be sceptical 5 the models that we asked for a month ago are Crystal Clear event paradigm a step one of which just show that with the power of people fidelity we successfully to 4th top of that. Awareness if we step on our voice we are all satisfying with Hong Kong Government just withdraw to be able. The protests will continue i do it today we have for you actually. The extradition bill in question would have allowed hong kong to send people accused of crimes to the chinese mainland for trial protests against this bill have become a weekly feature in hong kong lets just go back to how the old began it was actually on the 3rd of april that government 1st announced its intention to past 6 edition the announcement was greeted by a storm of protest and on the 9th of june an estimated 1000000 people marched to government headquarters to show their disapproval seeing the pressure from the people the government on the 15th of june said it would indefinitely delay the bill but protests continued and reached a head on july the 1st when protesters stormed the list of Council Building on spawn a month on the anniversary of the territories handover from the u. K. To china. Since then protests have continued and turned more Violent Police and protesters have been injured and over 1000 people have been arrested and just over the past weekend there were clashes again between police and protesters in hong kongs subway system. You know go to fortune john joins me now in the studio actually welcome. Chip kelly lamm ended her address with a plea to court replace conflicts with conversations you from hong kong or someone from the do you believe sincerely wants to diffuse tensions in your city. She is definitely very eager to end the protests and a conflict but is another question if its effective. What she was doing because if she could have said it like 2 months ago. Hong kong with and have come to this and now the protesters are asking more than just their withdrawal off the bill do you think that in numbers not on the side of the people of hong kong. Everyone knows that the chief executive of hong kong has to serve 2 masters and she has to face beijing and please the people of hong kong but she could have shown more sympathy to protest this. His speeches she has repeatedly called protesters riotous she has never called them Police Brutality and at some point she even said that the protesters they have no stake in the society so she doesnt have to be very office and condemning the beijing government but she could have some showing some sympathy to the protests what do you think about this particular move announcing the drawn or this extradition bill do you think shes forcing the hands of the protesters are protesters now going to be forced to return a good deed with another where potentially ending the fortunes and she wants to at least part of the protests some minority of the protesters so im almost there right and who are only thinking about the issue but i think a lot of the protesters because of her announcement today they are even more emphasizing that they have to continue their fight do you think this divide for justice does will divide the people of congo. Actually many people are saying that kerry let me say actually the one who is uniting the people of hong kong because of what she said before because of action and people are really angry with her and its actually connecting different parts of the society even different generations even if the protests continue doesnt be jeans didnt have the upper hand yeah everyone knows that beijing is amazing is the fact of whats going to happen in hong kong but then the process is also saying that they have really nothing to lose what are called the long term view i mean try not talk to talk about the one country 2 systems principle but thats used to be a principle in 24 to 7 john has the benefit of time do you think ultimately trying to explain the long. This is definitely this is exactly why the protesters want to fight for more before the some 47 because they want to inforce a political system where they can have root democracy and actually the basic law says that hong kong wouldnt change until 2047 but they didnt say after that what would change so there could be a chance that china would give them more democracy or would the that that line of basic rule as well john thanks for coming in always a pleasure go to.
