Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters hold sit-in at airport

Thousands of protesters have been holding a sit-in at Hong Kong airport.

Thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been holding a sit-in at Hong Kong International Airport in protest against the police's slow response to last weekend’s attacks - allegedly by triad gangs - on demonstrators and passers-by. We speak to the former Consul General of the US to Hong Kong, Kurt Tong. Also on the programme: We speak to Mexico's chief trade negotiator for North America about how easy it might be for the UK and USA to strike a post Brexit deal and on the day that the UN's human rights chief Michelle Bachelet condemns 'indifference' over Idlib bloodshed, we speak to a doctor working in the area.
