http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Good morning and welcome to Hong Kong's live coverage of Occupy Central. After a night of protesters taking to the streets and sleeping on main roads throughout the city, dawn broke with no sign that the demonstrations would ease off. There is widespread disruption across the city this morning. Stay tuned for all the breaking news. 10.51am: Alex Mak Ying-kit, a 52-year-old stockbroker, lives in Repulse Bay and works in Sheung Wan. He took the bus to Causeway Bay and walked for more than an hour to get to his work, but said he didn't mind because he got to witness the protests. He said he was disappointed with the government for not listening to the people. "I never thought the protest would have gone on for so long, and I would have joined in if more people had stayed." Mak said. "As a Hong Konger, if you don't make an effort like this, then it'll be curtains for Hong Kong within five years." 10.30am: Demonstrators on Connaught Road have been picking up litter as some hand out food and water. In Admiralty protesters have moved plant pots onto tram tracks to stop the traffic. In some areas of the city those on their way to work have cheered protesters for their actions. http://bit.ly/1nyayFG http://fxn.ws/1taSs90 http://bit.ly/1nyavtJ
