The news and Current Affairs that matter to. Aljazeera. Im. The one. Going to my house tonight and then if you want to yeah. First. Time i spoke so thanks facebook for telling me im so. Anxious that. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. The. Hong kongs freedoms Civil Liberties were meant to be maintained 50 years after 1907. But weve just seen a much more heavy handed sort of crackdown on freedoms and Civil Liberties in hong kong. Free press emerge from the Umbrella Movement prodemocracy protests in 215 its a direct response to the 2 and lengthy press freedoms in the city. I was a teacher for a long time in hong kong and take them oh money paying off debts but i had a blog and i noticed a lot of stories that were getting traction and i decided to sort of upgrade that into some sort of news outlet to be told to set something up like this have been democratized and i think we can have just as big a voice as the biggest news out. There wouldnt be nice to do carry on as i have lying like i am on that. We are all just getting things ready i guess for the there are 3 of us to attend and crackdown and how thats marked in hong kong which is going to be huge and i feel its something we can probably lead on going to i think the status of a lot of the press in hong kong who may not cover it as enthusiastically perhaps for sure tianna many is one of the 3 teams that many media will already avoid tandem and tibet and taiwan a sensitive issue youth. But were structured from the ground up from the beginning to you know resist any of those kind of problems. As a whole bunch of stuff that you know maybe holmes you kicked off with whats going to happen the next couple of weeks anyway and stuff that we dont know about there is the amount of events for june 4th well basically have the live blog piece or just a page and push the right just continually updated which is the other piece so ive got todd darling and dan garrett doing photos then i thought we have you right when do you want to publish the pretty bright as soon as you kind of kicks off so we 1st. Ok i pick up where we. Like and im. Trying. To. Compare. The way i make. The other 100000 people maybe gathering in victoria one of the few places on chinese soil questacon you mark me down and. There are signs of. A looming extradition bill which will certainly be. Going on here. Stay with us for the next hour or 2 and were back on Facebook Live with live running commentary. Found no doubt a bottle of. Water hes posing out saying her. Time to. Get booked on time dont own going home with t. Im not. Up on how the all gong. Also. Hard to win. Something. For many people in hong kong the june 4th vigil is an indicator of sorts of the health of the civil. We do a roundup of all the major print newspapers and on the day after to provide our readers with a sense of the media landscape as it is in hong kong so 1st of all your house i will daily newspaper with prodemocracy leanings the slow going to here as vindicate june 4th justice will prevail now on the other end of that spectrum we have one way pro and talks on how they are financially backed by the China Liaison Office so we usually say backed newspapers there is not a single mention of the video at all other Media Outlets have pressures that a shippy do not. I think the issue of press freedom in hong kong is far more treacherous than in the Mainland China. In the mainland who would know how the battle lines are drawn in hong kong theres more of a fuss to think. In hong kong we dont have sort of news outlets that are churning out completely fake stories. The big problem when it comes to truth and accuracy is that they tend to be either right owned by china or theyre run by tycoons who have business interests in the mainland. Almost everybody it seems is touched by is my right censorship but selfcensorship and thats sort of the the cancerous thing thats been spreading in hong kong for some years. Rather than having one rich benefactor we rely on a lot of small donations from a lot of people. Selfcensorship is a big issue but its we try to flip the gap stuff that other newspapers are covering we try to kind of cover and give a platform to that kind of nice. Theres a sim sites there is a continuous timelines of events getting worse and worse and worse in terms of politics. If this issue dition agreement passes anyone physically in hong kong will be subject to mainland chinese truth because they can try reasons to prosecute you in a minute china and aussie Hong Kong Government to send you back to Mainland China for trial. This is a silent march organizers by the Legal Profession and mainly for the Legal Profession to express this is regarding the extradition will. People with power as a matter we have to believe if you have sufficient numbers to go to st charles off age it will happen in the same. Order that we call upon this government to withdraw the extradition bell this is the clear and i believe the unanimous. Belief of the Legal Profession that. This momentum its its going to pull 123 do something to save costs and their own freedom. I think this is a good place to cover politics in the sense that although its a very difficult situation that were in which to sort of make some impact with the there are sources that we have. Been saying you know why they play at all they have picked up you got. Them die you said my im going out. The prodemocracy lawmakers are having a vote of no confidence and chief inspector carry a lot more dicey got a lot of laughter. If you take a song in a hot spot theyre trying to make a symbolic gesture why you have. That tight job to call my day like no no you dont know how they sound guy why they dont tell you more than bob but they dont get dont i could think what i wanted to tell dad and dad. Im going to spend 20 minutes to 3 today could be biggest protest sunday since 2014 possibly since 2003. Weve seen calls with no china extradition thats coming some with just a wooden blaze and while over it as we observe only different liberal progressive prodemocracy groups uniting against the bill. Lets see it lets me what have you been seeing as people are beginning to tell us how sloppy for flu im actually for the times town i told the candidates on tape they cant switch them to join this caucus so i mean its a touchy. Subject i dont think its much like my money already too coming out of m. T. R. How can you question and be massive. Yeah thats. The 1st time it comes when i can actually write. Why you cant say what do you make a nation that is very much into one called. Generation the next generation. By. Ha ha ha ha ha ha half the. I love i was straight shameless on the phone calls free press purchases have been gathering at events a concert i p n point of march i. I. I the special unit have arrived here all the riot shields. Just arriving. I. I. Was pleased our shareholders away again like to stop us on the process. I was saying get rid. Of some sort of action in. My. Eye. Hes talking point. I miss her so. I was shocked to see stuff go. To the police just trying to forecast various reporters. There you have to go oh. So 19 people arrested. 19 arrests and theyve made a show of weapons confiscated and i see. Its been a sleepless long night surely im of the journey so sation is looking at whether actually any Police Stepped over the line but yeah tempers frayed and you go well into the night and journalists will be between protesters and police so it can get chaotic. Having said all that like its been a huge part of the biggest sort of impact on traffic i can remember and you feel the probation press today you know one of them burying it or framing this as you know in significant. So i posted this 5253 am its expressing a little bit of anger with the treatment of reporters by the police i got a little bit of prep a spade my arms but one thing i didnt realize i only realized after looking at photos again you can check here this guy so if they decided to use rubber bullets last night then i will be directly in front of the filing and during the whole course they have been pushing reporters in there. Tougher than usual way so it was the bill of warning for forces as well. At the moment. Historic march because that was by far i think the largest in history both home we wake up this morning the governments founding from no changes it will be you know run through the ledge to show. The bill will be soon is 2nd reading on the trial. And we appeal to all members of the Legislative Council to discuss and debate on a bill in a calm and rational manner i hope that some of the appeal will gold school on eyes ations in society which may be planning. Actions including pap some medical actions that i. Being a political reporter and gives you plenty of action and things to call pessimistic. Are right past the all the things. Whats even more worrying than encroachment by the Chinese Government is the fact that increasingly app store things are being taken as a new norm. Oh. My god. I like a. Lot of its very hard to tell whether its considered to be safe to be walking it hold on the public article a certain fright monitor but would it translate into some kind of physical threat against my. Loved ones families i dont know yet ordering by looking for work. Almost always are they dont come home most of the month and its out trying to do was always our kewl have voted to go behind. The people like its a big old houses i dont want to see. Things anymore. Its been you know it is hard to watch freedom of expression of the kind in hong kong but if anything thats all the more reason to document. But do you think people have lost confidence in civil disobedience and protest as an effective tool do you think that people have lost confidence and protest this using the law as an instrument of suppression have been there for some years already when you look back you know what happened in hong kong but after the embryo movement is a revenge against all activists especially Younger Generation and then with the extradition bell pass it will be from rule of law to rule by fear because it has a Chilling Effect of anyone in hong kong and i think that exactly what the communist party want so we are asking people not to give up because we. Can fight back i believe. I. I i i i. I i. I i. I. I. I. I i i i you know we didnt see this coming up the council the just the. Debate on this because lawmakers just said it was constantly alleged. I suppose sections of society just normal one normally speak up or on to loud to speak up are opposing statements on a petition you know were seeing strike action which is so rare in hong kong i find that i just dont recall saying hundreds of businesses close. Up in a police analyzing what they should do. And the poses while theyre kind of like play a chess game i i only true suspect being force on the ground and Police Officers were very agitated and theyd say they were arrested pointing me to a scratch on the hand. You. I. This is fish tank on concrete press. As you can see the protesters are trying to water on the tear gas kind of i know the pain in your eyes i mean if. Theres fire. To focus in on leaving. The. Police. Or tear gas. Around 10 Police Officers pointing guns at journalists where there are no protesters behind us. Pointing. What police seem to be giving up again down there police. Bags clearing protesters of the last couple of hours firing volleys of tear gas around roads tonight havent you. Didnt expect it would get you carry a spicy. Feel bad for christie was getting to gust in real time i never asked him. Very much just like history repeating like invalid movement ill bet 79 days condensed into one day this is what it looked like you know at the end of of those protests. Yeah very intense and i imagine because of the Police Action today were going to see more protests over the coming days its not going to particularly stop. After all the street right. Reporting on hong kong should have a very deep and gauge and the fate of hong kong i hope that people can see that we care. What will happen in 123 or 4 years are they going to shut us down are they going to take away our newspaper registration will we see over censorship in hong kong. After 14 years this is home to me. I think its a city worth fighting for. Im probably the most pessimistic person in the room but i guess the good thing about hong kong has a very vibrant Civil Society whenever the government does something there is a big response. When the publics more informed about whats happening in the world and they can make more informed decisions about how they want to they run the government. Press freedom is you know important to take the end of climate of declining freedoms. The british iraqi journalist whos the. Lies in complex statistics and a simple. I think youre off as a summary of sites to tease to break apart from those systems and to collect data in a way that makes a represents Different Community challenging mainstream misconceptions the pie creates and 100 ministrations it doesnt alienate people it doesnt like people who are like im not smart enough to understand this truth is that any way out.
