Police in Hong Kong are preparing for another weekend of protests.

Anti-government demonstrators have already threatened  to disrupt transport links to the airport.

It comes despite Carrie Lam’s withdrawing a controversial extradition bill.

Last week activists disrupted transport links, leading to some of the worst violence that Hong Kong has seen since the unrest began three months ago.
