Hong Kong protests continue to grow

Protesters return to the streets of Hong Kong over China extradition law

Despite the apology from Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam and the unspecified delay to the second reading of the extradition bill, the streets of the financial district are filled once again with protesters wearing black, calling for the law that would enable extradition to mainland China to be abandoned.

Also on the programme; US officials say President Trump approved military strikes against Iran on Thursday in response to the shooting down of an American drone - but changed his mind at the last minute.
