A man looks at fallen trees following Super Typhoon Saola, in Hong Kong, China September 2, 2023. The Asian financial hub of Hong Kong and China's neighbouring populous province of Guangdong cancelled hundreds of flights on Friday and shut businesses, schools and financial markets as Saola had edged closer. Packing winds of more than 200 kph (125 mph) as a super typhoon, Saola was among the strongest to menace the southern province since 1949. Hong Kong imposed its highest hurricane storm signal 10 on Friday night, lowering it to 8 by Saturday morning.

Hong Kong police on Sunday permitted a small protest march under tight restrictions in one of the first demonstrations to be approved since the enactment of a sweeping national security law in 2020. "We need to have a more free-spirited protest culture," said James Ockenden, 49, who was marching with his three children. Police granted the organizers a "no objection" letter for the protest on the condition they ensure it would not violate national security laws, including seditious displays or speech. Organizers said up to 50 people took part in the first protest to be authorized by the city's police for several years. The last of Hong Kong's Covid restrictions was scrapped this year, following China's decision to end its "zero-Covid" policies.
REUTERS/Tyrone SiuHONG KONG, March 26 (Reuters) - Hong Kong police on Sunday permitted a small protest march under tight restrictions in one of the first demonstrations to be approved since the enactment of a sweeping national security law in 2020. Participants chanted slogans against the reclamation project as they marched in the rain with banners in the eastern district of Tseung Kwan O, where the project is slated to be built. Police granted the organisers a "no objection" letter for the protest on the condition they ensure it would not violate national security laws, including seditious displays or speech. Organisers said up to 50 people took part in the first protest to be authorised by the city's police for several years. Since the China-imposed national security law, enacted in June 2020 in response to protracted pro-democracy protests in 2019, authorities have clamped down on freedoms and arrested scores of opposition politicians and activists.
