Trains start running again, but a number of stations remain closed, with more protests expected.

Protesters have also called on people to defy a ban on face masks announced by Ms Lam.Unrest in the former British colony started in June, sparked by proposals to extradite suspected criminals to mainland China.

The extradition bill was subsequently cancelled but protests have widened into pro-democracy and anti-police demonstrations."The radical behaviour of rioters took Hong Kong through a very dark night, leaving society today half-paralysed," Carrie Lam said in a pre-recorded video statement on Saturday.

"The extreme violence clearly illustrated that Hong Kong's public safety is widely endangered. That's the concrete reason that we had to invoke emergency law yesterday to introduce the anti-mask law."Watch the moment protesters burn a banner after Hong Kong's face mask banHundreds of protesters, many of them wearing masks, marched through the Causeway Bay shopping district on Saturday.

"We're not sure what is going to happen later but we felt we had to get out and show our basic right to wear a mask," Sue, 22, told Reuters news agency from behind her black mask and dark glasses.

Driving car crash the pedestrians -looks like terror attack.Let’s us review: (3/2017,Westminster terror attack) 10/2019,Chinazi supporter use car to crash the pedestrian in HK, is this terror attack? HongKong HongKongProtests 5demandnotess

Did Chinese authorities think for a second that banning masks was anything other than provocation for the people of HongKong? When authorities have police and plain clothed infiltrators operating entirely anonymously. What China does now won’t ever be forgotten.

Riots in France now for 48 weeks. Why doesn't the BBC report this? Maybe because you're funded by the EU?

The long last HK chaos/violence and the hypocritical western media/people prejudice against China helped CCP gaining more and more support from ordinary Chinese. People realise this is not the democracy what they thought.

Support the Scottish people to strive for independence and get rid of the illegal rule of Britain at an early date!

'protestors' always the victims.

i hope hongkong will be better .i hope rioters never Do anything bad

i hope hongkong will be better .i hope roiters never Do anything bad

Even better events happening in France - The SS are storming Paris and killing folk - Only - I don't see any mention on the EU Propaganda Broadcasting Corporation aka BBC. Yes the BBC will soon be a think of the past - can't come soon enough ;)

NYC's anti-mask law was enacted in 1845 & many anti-mask laws date back to when states passed them to stop the violent activities of the Ku Klux Klan.
