BBC World Service - BBC OS, Why are people in Hong Kong protesting?

We hear from a couple who have been out on the streets

Hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting in Hong Kong over a controversial plan to allow extradition to mainland China. We hear from a couple who have been out demonstrating.

Also, three men have been jailed for life for the rape, torture and murder of an eight-year-old Muslim girl in Indian-administered Kashmir. Our correspondent gives us the latest.

And we speak to an editor working for one of three leading newspapers in Russia, that came out in support of an investigative journalist charged with drug offences.
