Newsday

It was a calm end to a polarised and sometimes violent campaign. Legislative elections have taken place in Hong Kong, and have been officially recorded as having the lowest ever turn-out in electoral history for the territory. We hear from an opposition activist and former legislator who's had to flee the territory. And animal welfare activists have raised concerns over plans for the world’s first commercial octopus farm in Spain. They say they are intelligent creatures, able to feel pain and emotions, and shouldn't be reared for food.
