00:00Fellow citizens, for more than two months, protests arising from the Fugitive Offenders
00:16Bill have continued. There have been chaotic scenes at the airport and MTR stations. Roads
00:23and tunnels have been suddenly blocked, causing delay and inconvenience to daily life.

02:39It is complete independence that we want.
03:09I think it's a historical day for Europe and for the world war. The fact that the war
03:39is coming down between human beings symbolizes the new era of mankind, an era when there
03:45will be no wars.
