Pro democracy parties in hong kong have made huge gains in local elections, with voter turnout the highest in the territorys history. The councils theyve elected only have limited powers, but the result is being seen as a clear verdict on the way the authorities have handled more than five months of Anti Government protests. Chinese state media had urged voters to use the election to denounce the Pro Democracy Movement, but the results convey the opposite message. Hong kongs leader, carrie lam says she says she will listen to the views of the public with an open mind. And the Chinese Government has reiterated its support for her. For the pro democracy demonstrators, it was a landslide victory. According to local media counts, 17 of the 18 councils are now controlled by pro democracy councillors. Voting stations were packed on sunday, and the election saw an unprecedented voter turnout of more than 71 . The result is being seen as a stinging rebuke of the hong kong authorities following months of clashes beween protesters and police. Our correspondent, Jonathan Head is in hong kong and joins us now. The assessment of an astonishing result in hong kong. The opposition have a broad alliance, people from different backgrounds, lawyers, activists, politicians, people who have not worked together in the past. Putting in effort into the local elections that normally do not get much attention. They were controlling pretty much all those councils until their selection. This time the opposition made a coordinated effort, contesting every single seat knowing that people would see there is much more as a referendum on the hong kong of her government. The turnout at 71 told us that hong kongers were taking these elections seriously, people we spoke to recognise it was an opportunity to send a message to the government. The government and china had hoped the escalation in violence and the chaos and disruption that their protests have caused recently would persuade some voters to stick with the government. That message fell completely flat. This does transform hong kongs politics. With which this Democratic Alliance aligns themselves with the protest movement. Lets hear from some of those who have been supporting the protest movement. The future lies with the protests. If it goes well and if it does not go quite well, i think the protests will go down in history. Otherwise it will go on. It depends on how the government will reply. Translation obviously we have shown our dissatisfaction to the government through the system. When we look at the state media they do not seem to accept the result. Therefore i think the protests on the street need to continue as we have not seen a sister thymic change in the government. I do not. Sister thymic change in the government. Ido not. Ithink sister thymic change in the government. I do not. Ithink the high rate of voters voting yesterday have shown a very encouraging message to everybody else. And to the world. One of the best known opposition figures in hong kong is joshua wong who was the icon of the last mass process might protest. He wanted to stand in these elections and he was the one person disqualified under the basic law because of his alleged support for independence in hong kong. For all of that he is a significant figure. Here is his assessment about the result of those elections. It is impressive to show hong kongers coming out to vote. To hold the Police Accountable and the important thing is we are not only satisfied on electing the District Council, we need to have direct elections to elect a government, the chief executive of hong kong should be voted by us. Josh a la wyong layer, thatis voted by us. Josh a la wyong layer, that is the view from the pro democracy camp. What will the government do. Joshua wong. Where can they go from here . They have got a huge dilemma. There Chinese Government strategy i seem to be to let the protests go on. As far as they are concerned it is safe because it is contained in hong kong. They have persuaded their population in mainland china, this is what happens when you give people too much freedom. They had hoped the protest movement would run out of stea m protest movement would run out of steam but i think after the dramatic confrontations we saw a week ago in the university campuses, there were some who thought it had gone too far, hong kong people would be put off by that violence. Now there is a huge momentum. Carrie lam says she will listen before. I think she is something of a toxic figure and china must be considering how quickly it can afford to replace about more than half, can it afford to make concessions. Will that take the steam out of this movement are bold and it. It is a difficult dilemma for a china which has authoritarian instincts which is dealing with a hong kong which is encouraged to keep demanding freedoms and liberties that it it believes it is entitled to. Im joined now by pro democracy activist bonnie leung in hong kong. Your reaction to the result . It is a landslide victory. After months of protest we can have one day that where we can feel that we are relieved and happy about the result. So now in the future we hope that the Hong Kong Government and beijing government finally can realise the power of the hong kong people and also listen to the hong kong people and respond to all of our demands. So that the movement can finally put to rest without protesters feeling a need to escalate their actions ever again. The chief executive has said she will listen to the people. How long do you intend to give her before protesters will be out on the streets again . First of all, now there are still some people being protesting inside the university. They will be hoping that the police will retreat and let the people trapped inside out. So really it depends on how the government really react to it. Will carrie lam really listened to the hong kong people and the result. The result is very clear that we want justice and the result. The result is very clear that we wantjustice and we want our demands to be heard. So now it is their turn to respond to this demand, the most eminent demand is about what will happen to the people in the university. It is a good way for them and a chance for them to show a real change. Given the past five months, you cannot be hopeful of very dramatic switches and policy from the government. Do you feel that their District Council controlling those 17 out of 18 will give the Pro Democracy Movement a platform to organise within the legitimate structural politics . M will definitely give more voices to this movement and also to the people. So if the government, both hong kong and beijing government, if they are smart, it is a really good chance for them to have them finally listen to ours and have that shift of attitude if you may so so. So it isa of attitude if you may so so. So it is a good chance for us to have some kind of mediation. Thank you so much for joining kind of mediation. Thank you so much forjoining us. As we were hearing, expect patients about what will happen at the Polytechnic University of hong kong. Lets look at the pictures. There is a mood of expectancy there. There are still protesters inside after the very dramatic siege that we saw of the Police Last Week with protesters inside the campus using bows and arrows in some cases, petrol bombs and rocks. And the Police Firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the campus. So most of the protesters we re campus. So most of the protesters were removed last week one way or another and many arrested. But as we are hearing, some inside and now some Media Presence building they are and also some protesters as you can see there, shouting at the police to stand down and let those protesters come out. We will keep an eye on events in hong kong across the morning. No, politics here. Now. Labour has announced plans to improve conditions for tenants in privately owned accommodation. The party said if it was elected, it would introduce rent controls and require landlords to conduct an annual property check. The conservatives launched their election manifesto yesterday, with a pledge to get brexit done, and a promise to add 50,000 nurses to the current workforce in england. Later this morning, the liberal democrats chukka umunna will give a speech on the partys foreign policy. Lets ta ke lets take these things one by one. We can now cross over to our Political Correspondent jonathan blake. Good morning. Labours focus and Jeremy Corbyns focus visiting here this morning today is very much on housing and specifically their private renting sector. The party are setting out what it sees as a new charter of renters rights with three main aims at allowing people to have an affordable, secure and decent home with his affordability in mind. Labourwants decent home with his affordability in mind. Labour wants to cap rents so in mind. Labour wants to cap rents so that they do not rise out of control and price people out of the market. They would be capped at the level of inflation. A secured tenancy. Labour would allow people to have open ended tenancies so people cannot be thrown out of their accommodation without notice. And an annual mot to secure a new minimum standard and rented properties and that would bring together existing gas and electricity safety checks along with new checks that landlords would have to conform to. Outlining these pledges this morning, the shadow housing secretary, john healy said that while the majority of private renters were happy with their accommodation, and the majority of landlords play by the rules, it is a minority of bad landlords that labour want to take action against. Most private renters are happy with their home. Most landlords provide a decent and secure landlords provide a decent and secure home for a long time for their tenants. But for too long and certainly over the last decade, the government has allowed rogue landlords to flourish and so it is time to make the market they never renters and that requires the government to act and requires a kind of package of year one writes, a charter of rights are calling it for private renters. This is a market that means private renting can be a decent option for everyone. In terms of the reaction to this, it has been broadly welcomed by Housing Charities but landlords are clearly not happy about what labour is proposing here with the commercial domestic Landlords Association saying that this would cause a crisis in the rental sector because it would have a counter productive effect to what labour is intending. With rental caps keeping prices down and increasing demand and putting people off renting out their homes. The other focus for labour today and forJeremy Corbyn here in this constituency will be on the so called women, that group of 3 million or so women who were born in the 1950s and were expecting to retire at 60 but when changes to the retirement age accelerated to scene themselves working longer and have been involved in a campaign to be compensated for a loss of pension payments. In the last couple of days labour have ta ken payments. In the last couple of days labour have taken the decision that they would compensate those women if a Labour Government was elected to the tune of £58 billion. It is a huge sum of money and labour have said that would come of contingency funding available to the government but suggesting they would have to borrow to meet that payment as well. It was not something that was part of the original labour manifesto, not included in their tax and spending plans. It is a promise that Jeremy Corbyn is keen to make. Jonathan, thank you very much. Lets hear about the tories now. Lets go to westminster now for more on todays campaigning, and talk to our assistant Political Editor norman smith. The day after that manifesto launch and there has not been a roll out on day two post manifesto kick off with mrjohnson out campaigning in wales. Again, on his theme of brexit. You sense in a way that it has been a rather underwhelming manifesto and in some ways the tories have been pushed onto the defensive largely over social care with a lack of any concrete policy proposals and social care. From then the man who led the last enquiry into social care attacking the tory planners and ambitious. They have also been on the defensive over that headline pledged to get 50,000 additional nurses working in the nhs after it emerged that those figures were put together only if you include keeping 18 thousand existing nurses who are due to retire or leave anyway. A hugely ambitious figure. Nicky morgan not standing in the selection but speaking up for a team johnson this morning insisting that there are changes to the bursary bringing back the nurse bursary, would enable them to recruit many more nurses. We are introducing a maintenance grant, are introducing a maintenance grant, a minimum of £5,000 plus helper training placements for anybody who wants to go into nursing, it goes up to 8000 pounds if there are shortage areas Like Mental Health nursing. Where there is a real need for more nurses. I think that people understand that we will make changes andl understand that we will make changes and i know as a ministeryou make a decision and you see what happens and you actually make the decision. We will have to rework and do Something Different to deal with that issue. That is exactly what people expect of their government. Elsewhere on the electoral savannah, this morning the liberal democrats will be setting out proposals to spend more money on defence. How so . They claim if we stay in the eu, our economy will grow more and therefore putting aside 2 of gdp for depends cash will actually be bigger as a pot of money if we stay in the eu. Interesting to gauge the tone and mood after a bruising few days. Jo swinson got a tough time when she appeared before the question time audience and yesterday she appeared to concede when interviewed by andrew marr there borisjohnson was on course for a majority. This morning one of her colleagues thing that was not quite what she meant. What jo swinson were saying that the only party that can take seats off them and stop them having a majority and going ahead with brexit as the liberal democrats and we fully intend to do that and are working ha rd intend to do that and are working hard every day. That is why we put forward a manifesto which has a vision for this country for a brighter future. The likelihood are the emerging view amongst many that tea m the emerging view amongst many that teamjohnson the emerging view amongst many that team johnson seem to be nudging ahead in this election perhaps explains why that manifesto was a bit of a damp squib, because bluntly it seems the view of team johnson as they think they are getting within sight of victory, so why take any risks. Play it safe and therefore we had that very cautious, frankly, rather an ambitious manifesto. Norman, thank you very much now. Rather unambitious. And throughout the campaign, we are asking your question to all of the main parties. At 5 50pm today, we will be speaking to Ian Blackford from the snp. Do get in touch with us with your questions.
