Hong Kong: Police and protesters clash on handover anniversary
Police in Hong Kong have clashed with protesters marking the anniversary of its handover from UK to Chinese rule.
In chaotic scenes on Monday, police used pepper spray and batons to contain demonstrators outside a venue hosting the annual flag-raising ceremony.
A group of protesters later tried to break into the government building.
Huge protests have taken place in recent weeks over an extradition bill, which would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial.
The government has agreed to suspend it indefinitely, but the rallies continue.
Hong Kong's leader, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, is facing ongoing calls for her resignation.
