Hong Kong: Hundreds of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists blocked some routes to the city’s airport as the financial hub began cleaning up after another night of violent protests marked by fires, tear gas and police beatings.

Operators of the Airport Express train said it suspended services yesterday afternoon, while black-clad protesters – hiding from CCTV cameras under umbrellas – built barricades at the airport bus station and attempted to stop traffic on the main road leading to terminals.
