Protesters defy heavy downpour to continue street march in Hong Kong

Hong Kong international airport has cancelled all departures, as anti-government protests in its main terminal continue for a fourth day.

Thousands are gathered at the airport which is one of the world’s busiest.

In a statement, the airport said operations had been seriously disrupted by the public assembly.

Hong Kong’s mass demonstrations and unrest show no sign of abating, more than two months after they were sparked by a controversial extradition bill.
