Dozens of 'Straight Pride' advocates who support President Donald Trump marched in Boston on Saturday as hundreds of counter-demonstrators blasted them as being homophobic extremists. As the hundreds-strong processions ended outside City Hall in one of America's most liberal cities, people from the two camps stood close enough to yell in each other's faces and in a few instances threw coffee cups and soil at each other. But there was no serious violence. Police with batons and gas masks stood by in formation, ready to snuff out any trouble. A couple of counter-demonstrators scuffled with police and threw dirt and eggs at them. One protester was seen being detained.

Chaos engulfed Hong Kong's financial heart on Saturday night as police fired tear gas at petrol bomb-throwing protesters who took to the streets for a 13th straight weekend. Police had banned the demonstration on security grounds and on Friday arrested several key activists and legislators in a dragnet on pro-democracy figures. But Saturday afternoon, large crowds - many in their signature black T-shirts and under a colourful canopy of umbrellas - defied the order to snake through Hong Kong island, blocking roads and chanting 'reclaim Hong Kong, revolution of our times'. Police attempt to arrest protesters at a Hong Kong station and those which are demonstrating unauthorized could face up to give years in prison, according to Hong Kong police commander Kwok Pak Chung 🔥 #HK
