Activist Joshua Wong banned from Hong Kong local elections

Activist Joshua Wong has been banned from running for office in upcoming local elections in Hong Kong. He has become one of the most well known symbols of the pro-democracy movement there. The Hong Kong government said he was banned because of his views on self determination for the semi-autonomous region. 大象传媒 Newsday's James Copnall spoke to Joshua Wong about why he thinks this decision was taken.
