Hong kong back to china and also the new security law in hong kong which he calls outrageous and an affront to all nations he says the United States will continue to put the pressure on china and will also continue to end hong kongs special status well talk more about this a little later in the broadcast but this has been my pump they are speaking about the new security will coming into effect today in hong kong. Because our correspondent in hong kong she sent us this update on the Police Arrests today. They have now arrested 300. 00 people at todays a wednesdays protests and this is with regards to Illegal Assembly of course todays protests it was deemed illegal the organizers and this they tried to request permission to go ahead for this march from causeway bay into central but of course the police denied that and therefore anyone taking part in todays rally was considered taking part in an illegal activity we can also confirm we now have 9 people who were arrested under the National Security laws these the laws that were fast tracked by beijing and introduced on july 1st being the 23rd anniversary of the handover from british rule of hong kong to china and now we can also report that one of those 9 was as young as 15 years of age there was a huge Police Presence in the people the protesters tried together at the initial starting point and march but they were met with the police line water cannon the walkout was fired a number of times we had tear gas a number of a canisters of tear gas was also fired pepper spray and pepper bullets a number of people of protesters mainly dispersed but the place was still able to move in and make a large number of arrests of those people they had trapped in those various areas some streets are still blocked we still have a large number of police on the streets trying to keep the protesters off and we do believe most have gone home but as i mentioned thousands did rally and thats defined the police band that went ahead so it shows that the sizable number of people are still angry about the introduction of the National Security laws but if you compare it to last july 1st where we had 500000 people gathered you can see that clearly these National Security laws have been a deterrent from hong kong we go to beijing katrina you whos been monitoring the reaction from china. Chinas Foreign Ministry came out on wednesday afternoon justifying and defending this law explaining that this was crucial to host ability its crucial for its future prosperity and early a beijing government officials said that the west often misconstrues this idea of one country 2 systems its not about the Central Government having a hands off approach in hong kong its actually about the Central Government taking control when it needs to especially when it comes to issues so important as National SecurityGoing Forward beijings message to the people in hong kong is that the buck stops with beijing the highest authority in hong kong is the Chinese Government and we see this manifest in the way this National Mall security law is written Hong Kong Police are very much the public face of this theyre enforcing this law on the ground but behind the scenes its chinese Intelligence Security agents who are pulling strings perhaps what him behind the scenes surveilling those suspected of violating the rules again kerry lamb when it comes to courts and cases presided over in hong kong she will select the judges but it is the mainland that has the last say when it comes to the more severe cases these cases will be heard by beijing behind closed doors and the effect of this is very clear beijing wants to send a strong message that this law is a deterrent and theyre going to be looking to Hong Kong Police to ruthlessly apply this law in order to set an example to the people of hong kong Going Forward also spoke to emily lau a little bit earlier who is the chairperson of the democratic partys International Affairs committee and all she saw was people are doing what they feel they have to in order to protect their freedoms. The hong kong people some of them are not going to be intimidated but of course there are others who are really frightened and they actually want to get out of hong kong so we have all kinds of people here but there are those young and old who are determined to fight and to defend our free lifestyle and some may won independence but i dont think too many of them do but we want to defend the last 3 lifestyle and we want beijing and not to remain on the promise of one country 2 systems if it is really true that our free lifestyle our personal safety our rule of law is not at stake why would so many people be risking safety out in the streets confronting the police of course it is something very very wrong so no matter what they say i think many people in the International Community will not be fooled and i i want to use this opportunity to tell the International Community that hong kong people are very very angry were very frightened and we want to we want beijing to keep the promise we want hong kong to carry on as a safe and free and vibrant city and we hope our friends in the International Community will speak out maybe by doing so this time you can interview me maybe i would have been arrested i dont know but i mean we just have to do things that we believe then on to other news and recovery operations are under way in turkey after a boat capsized in a lake in the south of the country at least 6 bodies have been recovered its believed around 60 markets were on board the vessel which was crossing my van.
