Hong Kong leader announces a platform for dialogue

Newsday

Available for over a year

After weeks of anti-government protests in Hong Kong, the territory's executive has said she will set up what she called a platform for dialogue; families of Uighur minority Chinese want the world to remember their relatives who in some cases have disappeared into the penal system in the western province of Xinjiang - we hear from one man who's not heard from his father for three years; and the harrowing case of the young woman in El Salvador accused of killing her unborn child has focused attention on the country's severe anti abortion laws.
