Hong Kong Rejects Visa of British Journalist

Hong Kong has refused to renew a work visa for the Asia news editor of the Financial Times, sparking concerns from the UK government. Victor Mallet is also vice-president of the city's Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC), which upset local and Chinese authorities by hosting a separatist speaker in August.

Also in the programme: Romanians are voting in a referendum on whether to reinforce the ban on same-sex marriage; and the Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballe has died at the age of eighty-five.
