Protesters dressed in black chanted 'Reclaim Hong Kong!' - with riot squads firing tear gas in an effort to disperse them.

A Chinese flag was burned and pepper spray fired as clashes between protesters and police in Hong Kong continued for a 16th week.

The latest march was smaller than on previous weekends, with several thousand estimated to have demonstrated in the outlying Tuen Mun district close to a key road bridge to mainland China. Protesters dressed in black and carrying umbrellas chanted"Reclaim Hong Kong!" and"Revolution of our times!" - with riot squads firing tear gas in an effort to disperse them.A march organiser quoted by RTHK, Michael Mo, said police had escalated tensions by sending in armed officers.

Elsewhere, scuffles were reported as government supporters responded to a call by a pro-Beijing legislator to tear down items posted on the protest movement's"Lennon walls" at subway stations.Thousands of posters, pictures and notes have been put up in locations around the city in support of those calling for the resignation of Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam, as well as an independent investigation into complaints of police violence at earlier demonstrations.
