Hong Kong protests: Tear gas fired at demonstrators

Protesters are angry that the bill has not been formally withdrawn.

A Hong Kong SWAT team has fired tear gas at protesters, forcing them to flee after starting a fire outside a police station.

Protesters also staged a demonstration at the city’s airport to greet arriving tourists.

Weeks of protests have plunged Hong Kong into its biggest political crisis in decades.
