Hello Haim, The South China Morning Post has lowered its pay wall to provide free coverage of the HK protests. Here are a few excerpts... OCCUPY CENTRAL - DAY FOUR: Full coverage of all the day's events scmp.com 6.45pm: Another twist in the protest saga, with the The Wall Street Journal reporting a source as saying that CY Leung will play the waiting game, hanging out for the protests to die a natural death. The Journal quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying Beijing had ordered CY Leung to halt the protests "in a peaceful way". The tactic would rely on Hongkongers not taking part in the protests becoming fed up with the inconvenience caused by the demonstrations. Just how long a waiting game Beijing and Hong Kong's government will be prepared to play is anybody's guess. 6.20pm: An extraordinary escalation in tactics is emerging from some student quarters among Hong Kong's pro-democracy protesters. At a news conference this afternoon they gave the city's Chief Executive CY Leung until Thursday to step down, vowing to occupy important government buildings if he failed to do so. Their actions, if carried out, would almost inevitably lead to physical confrontation with security agencies. 5.30pm: Here we go again! The junction of Argyle and Nathan road is now packed with an estimated 2,000 protesters, plus many more spectators and onlookers. Two minute speeches and lectures at the centre of the protest grounds are being given, on subjects ranging from media censorship to how to protect your smartphone from cyberattacks.
