Hong Kong's chief executive, Carrie Lam, says her government will respect the results of the local elections and listen to the views of the public with an open mind. Pro-democracy candidates made unprecedented gains in Sunday's district council elections - winning almost 90 percent of the seats on the councils, which were previously dominated by establishment parties. The leading activist, Joshua Wong, told Newsday's Ben James the landslide was a remarkable achievement for the pro-democracy campaign and said they would now be able to transform the district council into a platform of democracy and freedom.
