Hong Kong Protests: Two people in 'critical' condition

BBC World Service - World Update, Hong Kong Protests: Two people in 'critical' condition

Police battled with protesters at a university and on the metro network

Police battled with protesters at a university and on the metro network.

A protester became the third to be shot by police, while a pro-Beijing supporter was set alight. Monday's violence follows a weekend of vigils and protests after a 22-year-old student protester died on Friday. 

Also in the programme: Bolivian president Morales resigns after protests; Spain's governing Socialists won the most seats in Sunday's election, but fell short of a majority - and we hear how Pakistan is coping since the biggest HIV outbreak in recent history.
