#LIVE: Hong Kong legislature became a chaotic brawl as it resumed Monday 11 am. As the pro-democracy camp is trying to use a black cloth to cover the chairperson’s seat as a form of protest, security and the pro-Beijing camp try to shield the chairman, pro-Beijing Chan Kin-por.
Surrounded by security personnel, pro-Beijing lawmaker Chan Kin-por has taken the seat of the presiding member at a House Committee meeting 45 minutes before its start time. The last committee meeting on May 8 descended into chaos as democrats fought for control of the floor.
#NOW: Pro-democracy legislator Roy Kwong has been arrested during a confrontation in Mong Kok. It is one of the violent conflicts since the #coronavirus outbreak this year. It is not clear how many people have been arrested so far. #HongKongProtests#antiELAB
#NOW: It is unknown how many Hong Kong mothers’ hearts have been broken on Mother’s Day. This mum is trying to rescue her daughter who has asthma and needs medication. More than a hundred have been kettled in a confrontation in Mong Kok, including journalists. #HongKongProtests
#BREAKING: Hong Kong democracy activists arrested after months of #antiELAB movement. Ex-lawmaker Au Nok-hin says Martin Lee, Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Leung Kwok-hung, Raphael Wong, Avery Ng and he have been arrested and believes it is related to a protest they held last Aug.
This has completely floored me.
Tweeted last week that my fam was struggling to find food.
This week #HKers sent packages containing masks, dried food and even loo roll!
We will take what we need and donate anything else.
😭 Words fail. Thank you. ❤️🥰

It is an embarrassing scene. @WHO Director General, Bruce Aylward, hangs up in an interview with RTHK when he is asked about reconsidering Taiwan’s membership. Ironically, despite being so close to China, Taiwan manages to keep the #coronavirus infection and fatality rate low.
#BREAKING The Communications Authority (CA) announced the revocation of directions issued to domestic free TV licensees on the requirements to broadcast programmes of RTHK. At present, TVB and HKTVE are required to broadcast 3.5 hours and 2.5 hours of RTHK programmes per week.
Patten: "Most important of all, if Hong Kong is to return to normal and to rehabilitate the reputation of the police there should be a proper independent public enquiry into the reasons for the demonstrations, the behaviour of the demonstrators, and the conduct of the police."
I joined a bipartisan group of House and Senate members in nominating the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. https://t.co/dr7HbOnjqH via @hongkongfp
