California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products and the third to bar most animals from circus performances under a pair of bills signed Saturday by Governor Gavin Newsom. The fur law bars residents from selling or making clothing, shoes or handbags with fur starting in 2023. Animal rights groups cheered the measure as a stand against inhumane practices. The proposal was vigorously opposed by the billion-dollar U.S. fur industry, and the Fur Information Council of America has already threatened to sue. It follows Newsom's signing of legislation that makes California the first state to outlaw fur trapping and follows bans on sales of fur in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Riot police took to the streets of Hong Kong as pro-democracy demonstrators threw petrol bombs and vandalised metro stations amid months of protests in the region. Hundreds of protesters defied police warnings that they were gathering illegally as they met to launch petrol bombs and damage several metro stations in Hong Kong. Hundreds of protesters had been marching towards a district near Kowloon West when a petrol bomb was launched inside the Kowloon Tong station. The station was said to be seriously damaged in the attack but police confirmed no one had been injured. Petrol bombs were also thrown outside stations in Lai Chi Kok and Sham Shui Po as hundreds of protesters in masks took to the streets. 🔥#HK

At least 26 people are dead and 16 missing after the powerful Typhoon Hagibis ripped through Japan triggering deadly landslides and flooding rivers, with hundreds of homes evacuated. The destruction forced Rugby World Cup organisers to cancel the third match of the tournament, though the key Japan-Scotland clash will go ahead. By Sunday morning, the significantly weakened storm had moved back off land, but serious flooding was reported in central Japan's Nagano, where a burst levee sent water from the Chikuma river gushing into residential neighbourhoods, flooding homes up to the second floor. Yasuhiro Yamaguchi, an emergency official in Nagano city said: 'Overnight, we issued evacuation orders to 427 households, 1,417 individuals.' The government has deployed 27,000 troops and other rescue workers to take part in operations after some 376,000 homes were left without electricity, and 14,000 without running water. 🌪💦😱
