Tens of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Hong Kong this afternoon following clashes at the city's legislature on the 22nd anniversary of the territory's return to China from Britain. Protesters tried to storm the Legislative Council building, using a metal cart and poles to smash windows amid anger over a controversial extradition bill. Riot police armed with pepper spray, gas masks and shields guarded the facility from within. Earlier today, police swooped on protesters who had blockaded a street near the site of the government's flag-raising ceremony to mark the handover, beating some with batons as they fell to the ground, and used pepper spray to try to disperse crowds. 🔥 #retract

Mexico was hit by a freak early morning storm that saw hail pile up to nearly 5ft, leaving cars and roads buried underneath. Even some trucks and lorries were stranded by the sudden icy storm in the city of Guadalajara, in Jalisco state. Roads were blocked and extensive damage was reported as the heavy rain and large hail struck at around 1am on Sunday local time, according to authorities. In the worst affected areas, hail was pushed into homes as residents battled to dig out their property and vehicles. Army and emergency services personnel were drafted in to work throughout the night to clear the roads, according the Mexican media. ❄️☃️😱
