It′s still a tinderbox of tension in Hong Kong with fresh clashes breaking out today
between pro-democracy protesters and opponents in the city who would like their streets back.
The protests have been largely peaceful thus far but there are growing concerns the worst
unrest Hong Kong has seen in decades could turn violent.
Hong Kong′s leader has described the situation as "anarchy" and lays the blame at the student
protesters...
who continue to defy police warnings to dismantle their blockades... they won′t leave until
their demands for democracy are met.
Witnesses says around one thousand protesters faced off in a Hong Kong suburb earlier this
Saturday, but there were no uniformed police in sight.
Meanwhile, police in Hong Kong have arrested 19 people, including suspected members of
triad gangs accused of attacking pro-democracy protesters.
