Hong Kong refuses to renew work visa for Asia editor of Financial Times, Victor Mallet

Hong Kong refuses to renew work visa for Asia editor of Financial Times, Victor Mallet.

Hong Kong has refused to renew a work visa for the Asia news editor of the Financial Times, sparking concerns from the UK government. Victor Mallet is also vice-president of the city's Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC), which upset local and Chinese authorities by hosting a separatist speaker in August.

Also in the programme: Romanians are voting in a referendum on whether to reinforce the ban on same-sex marriage; and the Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballe has died at the age of eighty-five.
