Hong Kong: Fire at varsity amid standoff; China alleges US, UK interference

Masked protesters attempted to escape from a Hong Kong university campus where they have been battling police. Police used tear gas to disperse protestors. Reports suggest that the two sides have been involved in an increasingly intense conflict at Polytechnic University since Sunday, with the protesters shooting police with arrows, using catapults to launch rockets and petrol bombs, and setting fire to buildings and bridges.
