On August 13, 2019, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam faced a barrage of questions from reporters at a press conference, marking a tense moment in the city's ongoing protests.
"You blame your own political misjudgement on others, and refuse to acknowledge your mistakes," one journalist said, highlighting the frustration felt by many in the city.
Lam's response was met with further questioning, with reporters repeatedly interrupting her and accusing her of failing to respond to their queries.
At one point, she appeared to be on the verge of tears, calling for calm and asking everyone to "put aside your differences and calm down".
However, her words were met with skepticism, and the press conference quickly descended into chaos, with reporters shouting over each other and Lam struggling to maintain her composure.
