BBC World Service - Weekend, Hong Kong protesters gather for major rally

Pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong gather for major rally

Pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong rally for a march through the main island.

Crowds take to the streets in Hong Kong after six months of protests. It's the first time since August that police have given permission for a rally by the Civil Human Rights Front.

Also on the programme: Indian police say more than 40 people have been killed in a huge factory fire in Delhi; and we hear from UK voters who are changing their party allegiance due to Brexit.
