Hong Kong: tenth consecutive weekend of mass protests

Newsday

Available for over a year

Police fired tear gas at pro-democracy protesters at illegal marches and protests in Hong Kong. Just hours after the high-profile financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on Saturday, unsubstantiated theories are gaining traction online - not least when President Trump decides to endorse them. Dozens of people have been killed in Yemen as allies turn on each other - with warnings of a ‘civil war within a civil war’.
