BBC World Service - Newshour, Hong Kong: Transport paralysed in clampdown on rioters

Hong Kong suspends metro system and closes banks after violent protests

Hong Kong suspends metro system and closes banks after violent protests.

Much of Hong Kong is still shut down, after violent demonstrations on Friday prompted the suspension of the city's public transport network.

Also in the programme: Police in India are imposing restrictions on an area of Mumbai after protests over the destruction of the forest known as the city's green lung; and we hear from the family of a man facing twenty years in a Russian prison if convicted for spying.
